Subject: Issue #365 Bold/Italic nesting fix
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The logic for the current regex for strong/em and em/strong was sound,
but the way it was implemented caused some unintended side effects.
Whether it is a quirk with regex in general or just with Python’s re
engine, I am not sure.  Put basically `(\*|_){3}`  causes issues with
nested bold/italic. So, allowing the group to be defined, and then
using the group number to specify the remaining sequential chars is a
better way that works more reliably `(\*|_)\2{2}.  Test from issue #365
was also added to check for this case in the future.
