I have created a text file in emacs and saved the file. I later applied
formatting, well bold, using m-o b to some text and re-saved. But when I
re-open the text file I lose the formatting.
I am guessing this is a restriction of the text format rather than emacs
itself. Is there a way I can save the file so that my formatting is
retained?
