Markdown italics within code block renders incorrectly

[phase1geo]

When Markdown mode is enabled, if text contains underscores such that italicized text is normally displayed and then backticks are placed around this text indicating a Markdown code block or inlined code, the italics are still displayed.

Example:

This is thenameof_function.

Markdown would normally display the substring "name" in italics. However, placing backticks around this text should remove the italics, but it does not.

This issue has been fixed in the Markdown parser within nodes in the development branch. This fix will be generally available in the upcoming 2.0 release.
