I'm writing some documentation using ReStructuredText (ReST) format for the later web-page generation using Sphinx, and I cannot find a way to write some "bold italic" text.
There are markers for the so-called 'emphasis' (italic) and 'strong emphasis' (bold) text. They are *italic text* and **bold text** respectively. I also read in some documentation on this format that these formatting markers cannot be simply "nested". I.e. the ***text*** (or ** *text* **) does not produce the bold italic text.
Still there probably should be some way to produce a text emphasized both with bold and italic markers, since it is a widespread practice to mark pieces of text that way.
