But you might want to try these patterns that Pm made for me a while
back -- they're a lot less troublesome:

##  **bold**
Markup('**', 'inline',
 '/(?<!\\*)\\*\\*(?>(\\S.*?)\\*\\*)(?<!\\s\\*\\*)(?!\\*)/',
 '<strong>$1</strong>');
#
##  //italic//
Markup('//', 'inline',
 '/(?<!:)\\/\\/(\\S.*?[^\\s:])\\/\\//',
 '<em>$1</em>');
