Problem

When I use v0.27.0 (via markdownlint-cli2 v0.6.0) the following is raised as an error:

Summary: 1 error(s)
...md:173:80 MD050/strong-style Strong style should be consistent [Expected: underscore; Actual: asterisk]

When I use v0.28.1 (via markdownlint-cli2 v0.7.0) the following are raised as errors:

Summary: 1 error(s)
...md:173:80 MD050/strong-style Strong style should be consistent [Expected: underscore; Actual: asterisk]

When I use v0.29.0 (via markdownlint-cli2 v0.8.0) or later, no errors are raised.

`MD050` Regression

The MD050 omission is definitely a regression because it should get reported as a linting error:

- The deployment __kube-state-metrics__ must have a replica count of 1 for the **kube-state-metrics**

As you can see, the last strong word (**kube-state-metrics**) should get flagged.

This was caught because our build-platform uses an older version (not under our control) but our GHA is using the latest version.

I think you are reporting the following bug where the very first or last word with improper emphasis will not be flagged: https://github.com/DavidAnson/markdownlint/issues/1132

If so, I have already fixed this for the next release. Sorry about that!

It looks like the same thing. You can see that even adding a period at the end is enough to get the second emphasis flagged: https://dlaa.me/markdownlint/#%25m%23%20Issue%201141%0A%0A-%20The%20deployment%20__kube-state-metrics__%20must%20have%20a%20replica%20count%20of%201%20for%20the%20kube-state-metrics.%0A
