There are various markup rules depending on where you play ... we now
see why html had to be a standard and what would have happened had it
not been.

In "structured text" ala wiki/zope et al ... they also use * for italic
and ** for bold with _ as underline and even tags for bullets and <dt>.
However none of these are standards and thus some annoying
three-different-ways-of-doing-it will happen I guess.
