I'm trying to do a custom markdown notation and I need the inner most markdown every time, At the moment I have only 2 markdowns for testing purposes _ and *
Regex:
(?<![_\*])(?<!\\)\*(?![_\*])(([^\*]|\\\*)*)(?<![_\*])(?<!\\)\*
for capturing the inner most *
Examples:
- Should capture:
*test1\*test2*- Captures! - Should capture:
_*test1\*test2*_- but doesn't Capture because of the next rule. - Shouldn't capture:
*_test1\*test2_* some random text *- Doesn't Capture*_test1\*test2_*and captures* some random text *but I want to ignore this capture.
If I remove my first look before (?<![_\*]) works for 1 and 2, but captures the last * from the text until the next one because the beginning * is from from the previous text which should be ignored
