Redmine

the textile inline formating markers (*, _, +) don't work right after parentheses. An example is the following which should of course be marked as italics, but isn't:

some italizised text

The following patch to redcloth.rb fixes the problem:

Maybe this should be reported upstream?

The regex used only matches the markers following (or before) spaces, when instead it's better to mark after any non-word character.

Hope this helps
