Hello. Okay
hello. yes
As shown above, bold formatting is not working.
Hello. Okay
Hello. Okay
hello. Okay
Eh? No matter if I’m using ** or B-button I get bolded text. Same with markdown editor and RTE.
**Hello. Okay.**hello
There is punctuation before the final **, followed immediately by text. Give it a try.
The following format will not work
**+text+punctuation+**+text
hello. Okey. some text
And
hello okey without punctuation
But if we don’t use space after punctuation and ending ** that happens:
**hello okey.**text
**hello okey.**text
Versus
**hello okey.** text
hello okey. text
I don’t know if this is a bug or a feature of markdown, or something.
I believe the problem is not from punctuation before the asterisks, but rather text immediately after the asterisks with no space.
with punctuation. space text
**with punctuation.**no space text
**with punctuation.** space text
**with punctuation.**no space text
I do. It’s markdown’s default behavior.

It’s a known problem in Markdown, and can’t be fixed unless you can change the Markdown parser
And my workaround is to use <span></span>
**是的。**<span></span>对的。 是的。对的。
Per CommonMark, a ** can only close strong emphasis if it’s part of a right-flanking delimiter run. A delimiter preceded by punctuation (.) and followed by a word character (t) is not right-flanking, so it can’t close. markdown-it parses it as literal text. Same rule applies to *, _, and __.
I think there’s not much we can do about this, we’re following the spec, but this showed me we had a bug with the rich editor markdown serializer: if you used the UI to build this situation (**text.**text), it displayed correctly on the rich editor, but cooked as plain-text. This PR addressed this scenario by expelling the punctuation from the marked area, so it becomes text.text (**text**.text).

Can still reproduce this bug, the punctuation is only moved out after I switch to Markdown editor or post.
Test with rich editor: text.text
the punctuation is still initially bolded
