Hmm, my bad. I'd mistakenly made a target text selection and then applied the
autocorrect.
Seems when applying the autocorrect to existing text, a selection is not needed
nor helpful--as the autocorrect simply runs through the whole document.
So confirming that the Tools -> Autocorrect -> Apply autocorrect does render
the * Bold or _ Underline markup, but not the / Italic nor the - Strikethrough.
So there is an implementation error--something more needed to be connected to
get the same behavior.

No need, just do the * bold or _ underline Find & Replace with "Whole words
only" checked, apply the Autocorrect for those to have distinct formatting to
work against.
Then change the direct formatting with Find & Replace with Find using Other
Options -> Attributes--probably with the Including Styles checkbox.
Pick an Attribute and use the Format button's dialog to configure first the
Find field, and then the Replace field. It is a little bit fussy to get the
right mix for desired result, but seems to work.
It is a shame that doing it directly for / italic or - strike through with an
autocorrect is not 100% yet.
