If you're documenting technical things (what markdown is most commonly used for) underscores need to be displayed all the time because they are common in all sorts of resource and variable names.
- j1elo 2y agoJust adding that for technical terms that include underscores, I am on the camp that most if not all of the times they should also be marked as such (as a technical identifier of something) with `backquotes`. Which solves the issue of having unexpected formatting. I agree, however, than my original naive idea of using slashes was not so good. Obviously some practice gives a better understanding of the problem, and nowadays I see it differently. The slash is too common in written language; it's actually a good thing that unintended italics are not introduced after writing some trivial slashed term in a text, such as "he/him".
