Attached is a README.md markdown file (used in github).
When using "fencing" feature - 3 backticks ``` one is expecting code formatting.
If asterisks are used inside the "fencing", the color coding for "bold" or "italics" should not be used, as this text is to be printed as code.
See lines 75, 87 and 115 of the attached README.md file where I think SE is making an error in the color coding.
