Unclosed Emphasis
markdown
An emphasis run (typically underscore-delimited) opens without a matching close before the end of the block.
Q-2-5 — Unclosed Emphasis
A
_emphasized_run opens with_but no closing_appears before the end of the block.
What this means
Underscore-delimited emphasis (_text_) must be balanced inside
the same block. This error fires when an opening _ appears
without a matching close before the block ends.
Why this happens
Most often a typo: a closing underscore was forgotten, or a
literal underscore in identifier-style text (some_value) was
read as an emphasis opener.
How to fix
Add the closing _ at the intended end, or — if the underscore
is part of an identifier — escape it as \_ so the parser
treats it as a literal character:
The variable `some_value` (no emphasis intended) or some\_value.
Example
Unfinished _emph.
