This page is for personal reference, but I guess it could become more than that eventually.

Line-spanning bold text

'''Hello

Hello World

First word bold, second word plain.
Line-spanning bold text
(new <p>s)
'''Hello

World'''

Hello

World

Note that it didn't create a new paragraph like it should, plus first word bold, second word plain.

Headers span lines

=== Hello
World ===

=== Hello World ===

Headers span lines, but emphasis doesn't.

Headers span lines
(new <p>s)

=== Hello

World ===

=== Hello

World ===

Even though headers span lines, you can't create new
paragraphs inside of them.
Headers cannot be nested

=== Small == Big == Small ===

Small == Big == Small

edit
It doesn't produce any results at all. You just see equal signs.
''''' doesn't nest correctly.

''''' S+E ''' S ''' S+E '''''

S+E S S+E

S should be either S or S, not S. ''''' is considered ''' + ''.
