Describe the bug
Why is underscores (_) the default for emphasis?
From https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#italic:
Markdown applications don’t agree on how to handle underscores in the middle of a word. For compatibility, use asterisks to italicize the middle of a word for emphasis.
Is there any disadvantage to using asterisks for emphasis?

The default is to be the same as Prettier. Both dprint and prettier will keep using asterisks in that case mentioned:
