Syntax highlighting of bold, italic etc. does not work across wrapped lines

[n2taylor]

Best explained with an image:

The last two examples there are just long lines that wrap around -- no line breaks. In this case my settings have "word_wrap": true and "wrap_width": 80.

Same happens on bold, underline etc.

The word wrap setting likely adds a line break unicode char after 80 characters (to the nearest space so as to not chop up a word).

If you paste the text here so I can look at it, or open it in an un-formatted text editor so you can view whats hidden by unicode escape characters.

See attached a screenshot I cropped from the website I linked above showing what's likely happening.

Actually it's definitely a line break, I've just noticed the row numbers have no gaps, and sublime text shows 2 lines of text with no line break as a single row number the same as any other text editor.

There is a newline, but isn't Markdown supposed to ignore newlines (\n) unless they have two spaces or another newline after them?
I would expect that the formatting carry over past the \n unless it was a hard line break via \n with two spaces, two \ns or a <br>.

[Derpius]

Markdown, as it is derived from HTML, doesn't place line breaks when viewed with formatting.
This stems from HTML's <br> tag, when you do a double space and a return it essentially add that break tag under the hood.

This is because in HTML, even if you add a line break in the code, it won't display in the browser, however it will take effect in the code to allow for more readable code.

Example:
This line actually has a **line break** in the raw text, as you can see by the double asterisks not making the text bold, but doesn't display one in the formatted version.

Whereas this

uses the HTML line break tag

Line breaks like these wont affect HTML tags as they span multiple lines, but can be hit or miss with markdown's equivalent as the syntax is less structured.

However none of that matters to the syntax highlighter which will stop at a line break in the code.
(Unless you're programming in a language that uses line terminators like C++, then the highlighter will ignore breaks for the most part)
