As an aside; Many have adopted the following plain text patterns for
emphasis, some of which are automatically recognized by HTML readers
and converted into their equivalent HTML markup:
_italic text_
*bold text*
Presumably this is based on historical lightweight markup:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_markup_language
Capital letters are pretty universally recognized as shouting, so the
above might help soften the tone accross cultures and language
barriers.
