Re: [gutvol-d] Marking Bold in text files
* should be used to indicate a footnote in a PG text (though there may be OLD examples of doing such). For instance, all DP-generated text's footnotes would mark the * as [A]. A numbered footnote would look like this [1]. Chances are, if any old texts use * as a footnote marker, when they get updated, that will probably be updated as well.

As far as I know, * to indicate bold is acceptable in the text versions.
Sometimes * indicates a footnote; how do you distinguish using automated tools?

It's not true unless it makes you laugh, but you don't understand it until it makes you weep.

Some have used [FN1] to insure against false hits if the author uses [1] for other purposes. Michael
