I'm trying to modify PHP Markdown to implement 2 out of the 3 changes Jeff Attwood suggested, namely, enabling return based line breaks and removing support for intra word emphasis.
I was able to do the first quite easily learning from How to treat single newline as real line break in PHP Markdown?, but I'm finding the second very difficult to implement. There is this question on SO that deals with it, but since I don't really understand regexes yet, I don't know how to implement the given solution.
What modification do I need to make to Michel Fortin's PHP Markdown to turn off intra word emphasis?
