RadomirDopieralski: I don't think there is one and only good one way of handling such malformed markup -- and I think that different parsers will handle it differently. The important thing to remember is to never just ignore characters and eat them silently. So there are a few options: 1) Ignore the markup and display the characters verbatim, indicating this way that something is wrong with them, 2) First "{{{//}}}" starts italics, first "{{{**}}}" starts bold, then there is the text "{{{bold-italic}}}", then: 2.1) second "{{{//}}}" ends both the bold and the italic, second "{{{**}}}" starts a new bold span, that ends with the end of paragraph, 2.2) second "{{{//}}}" is treated as normal text (as there is no active italic span to close), second "{{{**}}}" closes the bold span, the rest of text is italic until the end of paragraph. 3a) only "{{{//}}}" are treated as markup, "{{{**}}}" is treated as normal text, 3b) the other way around, only "{{{**}}}" are treated as markup, "{{{//}}}" is treated as normal text, 4) your parser uses some heuristics and properly guesses what the user meant. To my understanding of the [Goals], especially __there is no wrong way to implement Creole__, each of these approaches is correct.
