Follow-up Comment #15, task #2874 (project savane):
The big difference is the fact that ''' does not really means anything. You
could use ''' to mean whatever you want, it has no real background.
*adad* and _adada_ are way more common, have an history from the days when no
mail client was handling html.
And frankly, it is easy to remember _ada_ = emphasis and *aada* = bold, while
remembering that ''' is bold and not emphasis, and not the contrary, is
definitely getting complicated.
Finally, quotes are already used in so many ways and so many places, I guess
it is more safe to avoid messing with it. And if we get back to litteracy,
quotes definitely means something different than bold for instance.
Doubling signs indeed seems a good way to avoid false positives. But I'm a
bit annoyed in fact with the text version output of it that will be in mails.
Maybe it will be a bit ugly. Maybe not.
So maybe we could give the non-double version a shot. I don't know.
