Capitalization is also used in text for emphasis, not just
shouting.
More commonly, on usenet, leading and trailing asterisks indicate what
would be italicized for emphasis.
Although my newsreader displays *word* in bold and /word/ in italics (if I
let it).
Hmmm - I've never tried both, like this:
/*word*/ (looks like a comment to me!)
*/word/*
I'll look at them when the message up shows in the NG...
Both are in bold + italic here.
Well, to be 100% accurate, the first is in italic + bold :-)
BTW, the reason I had to wait until I could read it in the NG is that
this reader (MesNews) displays bold, italic, and smileys as straight
text in the composition window.
