Also, Wiki rules say that underscore is used for italics: http://pangopdf.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/TextFormattingRules as does this (old) text: http://www.macefficiency.com/me101/1999/47_emailFeeling.html Finally, this URL http://www.prefab.com/ssl/notagsmarkup.html says that underscore is used for emphasizing but then goes on to say that in typography underlining and italics are synonyms... So the conclusion is clear: this should be configurable via a dialog mapping characters to the styles. It doesn't mean I'm going to do it any time soon however...
