+### Text emphasis restriction to single-lines
+
+By default text emphasis works across multiple lines until a closing token is found. However, it's possible to restrict text emphasis to a single line (ie, for it to be applied a closing token must be found on the same line). To do so:
+```vim
+let g:vim_markdown_emphasis_multiline = 0
+```
