Description

Bold generally should not be allowed to have line breaks in between them, or have whitespace on the inside, or they'll be treated as literal asterisks. So for example:

```
Our bold text

```

Results in:
```
**Our bold text\n **
```
Which will not render in bold with most markdown interpreters.

Instead we should move trailing line breaks outside of the asterisks:

```
**Our bold text**\n
```

and end and re-start bold for if it's not trailing, eg:

```
Our multiline
bold text

```
to
```
**Our multiline**\n **bold text**
```
