Hi Terry and list, and of course, if list-members choose the U.E.B. table (some might, some might not) it has in-built dedicated symbols to display boldface, italics and underlined letters, words or phrases--as the case may be.
Oh, by the way, the bullets symbol is also dots 4,5,6 immediately followed by dots 2,5,6. Regards; Stefan Slucki.
