gollark: I really wonder who goes around *making* these things.
gollark: This is an actual regex in a Markdown parsing thing I'm trying to use:```^(?:(\*(?=[`\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~]))|\*)(?![\*\s])((?:(?:(?!\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)(?:[^\*]|[\\s]\*)|\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)|(?:(?:(?!\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)(?:[^\*]|[\\s]\*)|\[.*?\]|`.*?`|<.*?>)*?(?<!\)\*){2})*?)(?:(?<![`\s\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])\*(?!\*)|(?<=[`\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])\*(?!\*)(?:(?=[`\s\]!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~]|$)))|^_([^\s_])_(?!_)|^_([^\s_<][\s\S]*?[^\s_])_(?!_|[^\s,!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])|^_([^\s_<][\s\S]*?[^\s])_(?!_|[^\s,!"#$%&'()+\-./:;<=>?@\[^_{|}~])```(it's generated from a slightly less insane one with`punctuation` in place of the big mess of punctuation characters, but *still*)
gollark: You could probably procedurally generate a few of the parameters for it. I can't help much though, I just remembered that these were a thing for drawing curves which existed.
