Wiki Markup - Bold Text doesn't render mid way through a word

XMLWordPrintable

      Description

      The bold markup will not render correctly (in visual editor or comments) when it's part of another word.

      Steps to replicate

      Add wiki markup to an existing word mid way through the word (for example, the "es" in "test".

      Expected results

      The "es" is bolded.

      Actual results

      The "es" is not bolded.

      Workaround

      Insert a tag like color into the markup.

      Test cases:
      *test*
t*es*t
t{color}*es*{color}t

      Produces:
      test
      t*es*t
      test

            Meanwhile, wiki markup doesn't support bolding characters inside word

            Reopening as indeed wiki markup supports bolding characters inside words. In order to do that, you need to use curly braces to "escape" asterisks:
            t{*}es{*}t
            will render as:
            test

            It is so by design - wiki markup is the main formatting storage in Jira. It's syntax is used in our editor as well. Meanwhile, wiki markup doesn't support bolding characters inside word - it is not working in earlier Jira versions, which does not have the editor either.
