Comment:
Replying to [ticket:3539 ThurnerRupert]:
> is this intended?
Yes, as `!<something>` is usually used to negate the `<something>` Wiki
markup.
In this case `!'''` is interpreted as "those three single quotes are
''not'' a token for bold style".
But yes, it's quite common to end emphasized sentences with a "!", so this
was not a particular good choice. An alternative would have been to use
the "\" character as a way to escape the Wiki markup, as it's far less
common in normal writing than "!". But it's maybe a bit too late for such
a change...
So unless someone has a better idea, we should at least document this in
WikiFormatting#FontStyles
