* Bold markup added. The syntax is two underscores around what you want bold. Note, we still do not support multi-line markup. It's possible but it's a design choice not to support it.
This is all great, but I have a concern about this one. Do we really need more than one kind of emphasis? Actually, mostly what I don't like is the / markup, because slashes are common, e.g. URLs and paths, and it's a pain to escape them all the time. Messed up formatting due to forgetting a backslash is very common in my docs, and I've even seen it in GHC docs as well. I would prefer to swap /s for *s because *s seem less common, but of course that would break stuff. And I'm sure there are people out there who like using /s for emphasis, so we don't need to repaint that bikeshed. But at least we can avoid adding even more special characters you need to remember to escape. And bold emphasis seems like it's redundant with italics emphasis.
