Why do you say that _italics_ and *italics* are semantically different? What do you mean?
The parenthetical hinted at it: (I tend to use the former for titles and such)
There's a convention at work here, namely that italicized book titles and
similar are often underlined in plain text — and in plain text without backspaces this is represented as leading and trailing _. So there's a semantic (i.e. content) difference even though the generated markup is the same. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
