Hi Sam, Unfortunately your updated §7.1 is broken.
- U+2060 WORD JOINER is not a whitespace character under Unicode definition, therefor your proposed way to remove styling will not work with any client correctly implementing the XEP. - U+200B ZERO WIDTH SPACE is also not a whitespace character (even though it totally sounds as if), that's why I suggested to put it *before* the styling directive, like "In *this* example". As styling directives must be located at the beginning of the line, after a whitespace or after a different styling directive and U+200B is none of those. - When I suggested U+200B I indeed didn't have the third case in mind, but only the other two and in both of these cases the fact that this character is breaking wasn't an issue. U+2060 also acts as a replacement for the deprecated U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NON-BREAKING SPACE so I'd say U+2060 is the right choice here, but it must still be changes such that it is to be inserted before the opening directive and not after. - Regarding the closing directive: Thinking more about it, the only case where it is needed to also "escape" the closing directive is the preformatted text block. Valid span closing directives must not be after a space so can't be misunderstood as an opening.
