In other +words, by default, that input would result in this output: +`<em>connected_words</em>`. + +However, that behavior is not consistent with the original rules or the behavior +of the reference implementation. Therefore, this extension can be used to better +match the reference implementation. With the extension enabled, the above input +would result in this output: `<em>connected</em>words_`. + +## Usage + +See [Extensions](index.md) for general extension usage. Use `legacy_em` as the +name of the extension. + +This extension does not accept any special configuration options. |
