For emphasis, using asterisks to bold and italicize the middle of a word doesn't work.

Example:
Input: "This is really***very***important text."

Expected: This is reallyveryimportant text.

Actual: This is really***very***important text.

Can I please get some help on this ? I was looking at options on Parser but don't see any thing that can help.
Note that it works with https://github.com/commonmark/commonmark-java

A parser creates the following AST:

Document[0, 16]
  Paragraph[0, 16]
    Text[0, 15] chars:[0, 15, "foo** … **baz"]

Notice the missing StrongEmphasis and Emphasis nodes.

This seems like a bug in Flexmark.

Tracing this, I believe the problem relates to the code at:

It looks like the loop here is rewinding the stack to find the outer most opener and closer. Then processing the result.

This code is a bit complex, so I am not fully sure what is happening, but this seems to result in the delimiters getting ignored.

I was able to create a PR after all. Let me know if this works or needs adjustments.
