<p>Given that Markdown has lots of undefined semantics, this may very well be a valid interpretation of certain broken Markdown documents. But I guess most would agree that the priority should be the other way around.</p>
<p>Example:  (Save as <code>something.md</code> and open with Geany)</p>
<pre><code>_This is "underlined"

```
should_be code
```

This sentence is considered code, because the
"matching" underscores had priority (?)
</code></pre>
<p>Note that the "stray underline" can also occur in HTML inline-comments, where they don't stand for underlining anyway.</p>
