Message:

Developer: Fix parser's conversion of double underscores to strong text in parameter descriptions.

The parser interprets __ as either as an opening or closing <strong>, which is never intended. This was already addressed for params via get_params(), but more broadly to affect other aspects of the param not just description. However, format_param_description() is used in other similar contexts, so this fix is needed there.

See #2900.
