I have to agree with Shawn, I don't think that this is a good idea. In
any case, you can use pure HTML to work around this:

    <pre>
    if (<em>condition</em>)
    <strong>// do stuff</strong>
    </pre>

Or a mixture of HTML and kramdown syntax:

    <pre markdown="span">
    if (_condition_)
    **// do stuff**
    </pre>
