Description
Italic markdown formatting seems to be inconsistent. There's a difference between the macOS app version and other apps.
#### Steps to reproduce
1. Create a new note.
2. Add text with several underscores, e. g.:
`Some_text_with_underscores`
3. Click "Preview".
#### What I expected
Formatting like this:
(simplenote-electron)
(new web app)
#### What happened instead
This is the same formatting as can be seen in the current version of the web app:
#### macOS version
1.4.2
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the macOS app's Preview flow with `Some_text_with_underscores`, then trace the markdown rendering entry point used there. Compare its output with the examples from simplenote-electron and the web app; done means underscore-delimited text renders consistently with the expected formatting.
