github markdown italic

[steverweber]

the following _sdl.autofs.config.auto_master is not italic in github markdown styling.

_sdl.autofs.config.auto_master

however in pandoc it is.

please only preform italic when closing underscore is postfixed with a space, newline or symbol (not letter or digit)

same issue in gitlab: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/12498

Please state your pandoc version (as noted in CONTRIBUTING.md). With the latest version, I get:

% echo "_sdl.autofs.config.auto_master" | pandoc
<p>_sdl.autofs.config.auto_master</p>

echo "_sdl.autofs.config.auto_master" | pandoc --from markdown_github --to html
<p><em>sdl.autofs.config.auto</em>master</p>

Upgrade, then, and you should be fine. You're using a very old version. We're on 1.16.x now.
