Bold in Markdown 7.1 using ** block not working.

Recommended Posts

Hello, setting up a new site and having a markdown problem using double asterisks to bold text **text-here** using 7.1 markdown blocks. It seems to no longer work, just displays the asterisks surrounding non-bolded text - like this **not-bold** - Does anyone know if this is a bug or a change? Thanks

I check that the markdown works properly on my demo site. Can you share your site address so I can take a look?

Exactly right!  - happens for both for 7.0 and 7.1versions. The only way I found to fix this was to use the <strong> </strong> tag which is fine except when editing a lot of existing markdown.
