In November 2004 there were several threads dealing with marking bold text in text files ("Marking bold & italic in .txt"). One of those messages, dated Nov 12, 2004, indicated that the PG FAQ's would be updated to indicate the use of asterisks (*) to mark bold text, similar to PG's FAQ V.94's standard of using underscores to indicate italicized text. Was this update ever done? FYI - I checked the Distributed Proofing site's FAQ's, but the only reference I can find of bold text says to use the HTML <B> and </B> tags. In the absence of a PG standard, is it OK for me to use asterisks to indicate bold text within a document? (Note that I'd only be doing this for bold text inside paragraphs, not for things like headings that might be bolded as part of some automatic formatting process.) Al
