Ignoring those in code span, code blocks, HTML blocks, and inline HTML tags? I'm not sure how hard this is... but it won't be easy. Maybe it would be better to create a new fork from PHP Markdown.

In order to get the underlines to work as highlighting in that program I had to code it thus: `thi\s_has_\underlines()` it requires a space or and escaped character to preceed a starting formatting character and to follow an ending formatting character. I expected to have to escape the the `_` until I realized the 'rule' it was using to determine if it was a formatting mark or not.
