We shouldn't make special cases just for one particular group of people without a better reason than just because that's how they do it themselves.
The thing is, we are an ENCYCLOPÆDIA. (BTW, I am not shouting. I just can't do italics here!!!)
Right, the convention goes: /italics/ *bold* _underline_
