Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the macOS app's Markdown Preview using the listed steps and `_Italic_` input. Trace the Preview rendering path from the note editor to the Markdown renderer, then verify that the text is italic rather than underlined and that existing Electron, iOS, and Web behavior remains consistent.
