Can't Escape Italics (forward slashes)

First things first, I love the app. Fantastic job. Stack kicked Bear off my menu bar.

Problem @ hand is I like to use w/ as an abbreviation for "with". I also like to use the forward slash to describe lists of interchangeable items as in "staring at your phone/television/laptop screen".

In stack, multiple w/'s on the same line look like this:

This cable will work with w/ a laptop w/ USB-C

and the latter would look like this:

staring at your phone/television/laptop screen

A possible solution would be to only italicize when the opening / is immediately connected (no whitespace between) to a character. E.g.

staring at your phone / television / laptop screen ----------------------- ^^^^^^^^ Not italicized

staring at your phone /television / laptop screen ----------------------- ^^^^^^^^ italicized

"First things first, I love the app. Fantastic job. Stack kicked Bear off my menu bar." Thank you very much! That means a lot to me :)

To the issue: Good point and a neat solution. I will fix it very soon.

Currently, I'm working on a new (standalone) version of Stack which will be released in the next few days. I have thought about the key-value based concept and improved it. Maybe you could take a look at it and give me your feedback :D.
