dotCooCoo 16454c5f30 AutoFormat: *bold* and _italic_ become real formatting as you type
AutoFormat As You Type has a new option, "*Bold* and _italic_ as real
formatting". When it is on and a word is finished by a space,
punctuation or Enter, text enclosed in asterisks becomes bold and text
enclosed in underscores becomes italic, for plain and complex-script
text, and the marks are removed. The opening mark has to start a word
and the enclosed text may not start or end with a space, so 2*3* and
file_name_ stay as typed, and so do marks around a picture, field or
content control.

Undo right after brings the marks back; after Enter, the Enter stays.
The paragraph Enter makes is formatted as after a plain Enter. With
Track Changes on, only marks the current author typed as tracked
insertions are converted, and nothing is converted while formatting is
limited to the document's styles.

The option is off by default. Scripts set it with "boldItalic" on
tools.autocorrect, and the AutoCorrect dialog shows it on the AutoFormat
As You Type tab.
