FYI, this feature is called "structured text". > First, we cannot use them all together. bug 158706 > Second, when characters like (:) are inside, it doesn't work (ex. *List :*) > Third, it doesn't work with accent characters .... see the dupe (and bug 206298, which was duped to that one). This *does* work for the Québec case -- accented characters (and punctuation, spaces, and numbers) are only a problem in the position immediately following or preceding the markup character. The leading/trailing character is limited to plain ASCII letters: A-Za-z *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 106028 ***
