Do you mean they don't appear on screen, or you can't add
bold/italics/underline text to the document?

To add to the document: CTRL+SPACE, type, CTRL+U (or CTRL+I).
To change existing text: move to start, CTRL+SPACE, move to end, CTRL+U
(or CTRL+I).

Bold's not supported, alas. (Terminals can only display three orthogonal
types of markup, and I'm using all of them already.)

In order to see the styles on-screen, you need a terminal which honours
emphasised text and underlined text --- which they all do these days. If
you're not seein the styles appear then most likely you've managed to
tell it the wrong TERM type. What terminal are you using? If it's
Ubuntu, it's probably gnome-terminal, which I use, and it works fine there.

PS: if you're going to mail the list, please subscribe. Otherwise I have
to manually moderate your messages and send explicit replies to you.
