Force bold and italics (b and i)

[luegner@…]

I thought I'd create a new bug since the strong and em in every browser isn't getting any response. The problem with forcing em and strong is that it is the exact opposite of what needs to be done. The main problem deals with this bug: ​https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=249909

What needs to happen is that there needs to be a configuration variable called ForceBI (force bold and italics). Not only does it create less code, but also IE can manipulate these tags without a problem. In effect this would workaround the problem with gecko based browsers and the em tag.

I've already modified the source code to do this so I can even submit the templates to you that I have changed so you can implement it in the next version.

In the way you proposed it, it seams much more a Feature Request than a bug, so I'm moving it to the right place.

You you have any could you can share, just use our "Patches Tracker".

The reason for having such a feature is mainly for Adobe Flash. The Flash html renderer only recognizes b and i tags for bold and italics while most if not all browsers are able to recognize and render the standards compliant strong and em tags.

The new style system for 2.5 allows to configure exactly the tags that you want generated.
