CNews.

   How about a different interpretation - // and ** (and don’t forget __ for underlining) might not be interpreted the same as the {} and [] of FTX, but would be interpreted like this:
s% (\W) (_\w.+\w_)   (\W) %$1<u>$2</u>$3%xg;
s% (\W) (\*\w.+\w\*) (\W) %$1<b>$2</b>$3%xg;
s% (\W) (/\w.+\w/)   (\W) %$1<i>$2</i>$3%xg;
Note that since the __, **, and // are inside the parens, and therefore inside $2, they will be printed but the markup will be added.

Doesn’t that look a bit redundant?

/italics/ and *boldface*

What do underlined underlines look like? Like this?--

_N_ew _E_ngland _L_EGO _U_sers _G_roup

Not sure how either any of those are an improvement.
