Greetings,

Just wondering about the rationale behind using *bold* markup for
\textbf{} in LaTeX export and to \alert{} in Beamer. Was this a
frequently voiced request? I'm sure I can dig into this somewhere and
change it, but if the majority prefers bold (not saying they do!),
should that be the default?

I'd prefer bold, personally. I don't like red table column titles or in lists.


Thanks,
John
