I'd also like to suggest the removal of the workaround (occupying most

quotes-as-text and quotes-as-markup within words. In other words, the
workaround provides that "l'''italic''plain" renders as
"l<i>italic</i>plain".
This is incorrect -- it renders as "l'<i>italic</i>plain", and
this is
intended. As has already been mentioned, this is used extremely often on
French wikis.
I was the one that made the modification to this code, and I think it
solves the issue quite nicely.
You said that it was a "user-input error", but you haven't offered a
suggestion what the *correct* input should be in order to yield the
output "l'<i>homme</i>". Before my modification, the only way to
do it
was "l'''homme''", which is obviously too cumbersome,
too
unreadable, and too unintuitive to new editors.
