What if you want a bold italic font? I know of only three ways to do it on Wikipedia, and none are pure wiki syntax: <b>''Bold italic''</b>, <i>'''Bold italic'''</i>, or <b><i>Bold italic</i></b>.
''''' gives bold italic (more precisely, <em><strong>), but this is buggy on some browsers. If you find that it makes a difference to your browser exactly how you go about specifying the effect, then you might consider reporting that to Lee; he could choose the rendering method that bugs the fewest browsers. (But I suspect that he would give this very low priority ^_^.)
