This sucks, but it can't. The italics and bold weren't always used with the semantic meaning of giving emphasis (as I mentioned in my previous e-mail), so blindly replacing them with "semantic" tags and giving them false meanings would be a step back.I absolutely agree with your point. I wasn't aware that wiki-syntax inserts in fact <i> tags (and also <b> tags, which bring up the same problems). That needs to be changed. We need clean, semantic markup in order to adjust the styling to any given circumstances, as you perfectly described.
