This does for double underscores what [smart_emphasis](../reference.html#smart_emphasis) does for single underscores. The Smart_Strong Extension is included in the standard Markdown library. Usage ----- >>> import markdown >>> markdown.markdown('Text with double__underscore__words.', \ extensions=['smart_strong']) u'<p>Text with double__underscore__words.</p>' >>> markdown.markdown('__Strong__ still works.', \ extensions=['smart_strong']) u'<p><strong>Strong</strong> still works.</p>' >>> markdown.markdown('__this__works__too__.', \ extensions=['smart_strong']) u'<p><strong>this__works__too</strong>.</p>' This extension is also included with the [Extra](extra.html) Extension. You may call that extension to get this behavior with all the other features of 'Extra'. >>> markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
