Which is probably why WikiMarkup is *not* like that - because not
everyone knows (or wants to know) HTML.
I confess that I haven't look on the tlhIngan Hol Wiki for a while but
I presume they use the "normal" method of ''double apostrophes'' for
italics and '''triple apostrophes''' for bold - which is intended to
be easier to read in the source and easier to write without having to
learn tags such as [b] or [i] (which are, by the way, also a pain in
the behind to type on a German keyboard due to their use of AltGr).
