You can have strong and empashized text.
You can also apply styles to
verbatim
.
But verbatim will
_*preserve*_
them.
You can use _single *markers.
But you _need_ to escape pairs.
Even though you can escape _only one_ of the two.
If you have _more than two_ it's better to just _escape_ all of them.
Oh, this is valid for `verbatim as well.
