 In [1138], we introduced the `fix_unintended_markdown()` filter on
 `the_content` which was meant to cover the case where Parsedown was
 parsing parameters like `$post__in` as having italics in the middle.

 Unfortunately, we're also now seeing emphasis tags in other places, e.g.
 Explanations, ''also'' getting re-replaced with underscores.
