CJK friendly emphasis

Enable with .UseCjkFriendlyEmphasis() (not included in UseAdvancedExtensions()).

This extension adjusts emphasis delimiter rules to better support Chinese/Japanese/Korean (CJK) text, where words are commonly written without spaces. It follows the markdown-cjk-friendly specification and mitigates the CommonMark emphasis limitation discussed in commonmark-spec#650.

Enable

using Markdig;

var pipeline = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
    .UseCjkFriendlyEmphasis()
    .Build();

You can also enable it via string configuration:

var pipeline = new MarkdownPipelineBuilder()
    .Configure("common+cjk-friendly-emphasis")
    .Build();

Examples

Some emphasis sequences that often fail with plain CommonMark in CJK text become parseable with this extension enabled:

**この文を強調できますか？**残念ながらできません。
我可以强调**这个`code`**吗？
**이 용어(This term)**를 강조해 주세요.

Notes

This extension intentionally deviates from strict CommonMark emphasis behavior to improve real-world CJK authoring.
It only affects how emphasis delimiters are interpreted; it does not add new syntax.
