I'm not sure if it would be a more or less drastic
change, but making
bold be four tics instead of three would also solve the problem. Then
without lookahead: 2 tics is italics; 3 ticks is an apostrophe plus
italics; 4 tics is bold; 5 tics is an apostrophe plus bold; 6 tics is
bold and italic; and 7 tics is an apostrophe plus bold and italic.
Sure, or simply use proper <b>XML markup</b>... This would have
the nice side effect that it can span more than a <i>single
line</i>.
Yes, I know, XML was not invented here and thus it isn't an option.
