<h2 id="summary">Summary</h2>
<p>The Markdown Smart_Strong Extension adds smarter handling of double underscores
within words. This does for double underscores what
<a href="../reference.html#smart_emphasis">smart_emphasis</a> does for single underscores.</p>
<p>The Smart_Strong Extension is included in the standard Markdown library.</p>
<h2 id="usage">Usage</h2>
<pre><code>>>> import markdown
>>> markdown.markdown('Text with double__underscore__words.', \
extensions=['smart_strong'])
u'<p>Text with double__underscore__words.</p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('__Strong__ still works.', \
extensions=['smart_strong'])
u'<p><strong>Strong</strong> still works.</p>'
>>> markdown.markdown('__this__works__too__.', \
extensions=['smart_strong'])
u'<p><strong>this__works__too</strong>.</p>'
</code></pre>
<p>This extension is also included with the <a href="extra.html">Extra</a> Extension. You may
call that extension to get this behavior with all the other features of 'Extra'.</p>
<pre><code>>>> markdown.markdown(text, extensions=['extra'])
</code></pre>
