If the matching markup cannot be found within a line, the formatting will not be applied. This is to ensure that un-matched formatting markups, which can be a common mistake, does not corrupt anything past a single line. We do not want the rest of the document to be rendered bold just because we forgot a trailing '*'.
I think that rule is needlessly strict. Simple markup could (should) end by the end of a block (so only one-paragraph documents would have the above problem), and anyway quickbook ought to issue a syntax error if you fail to close your simple markup. Also a good syntax highligher will show you when you don't have the closing delimiter in place. -- Dave Abrahams Boost Consulting www.boost-consulting.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
