Yes, exactly. Speaking as a formatted, how the hell would I know which emphasized "i" text from Word is meant to be italics, and which are meant to be "emphasized" as in em? Jesus wept!

Unless I outsource final ebook creation to someone else. Then I suppose I can use a character style for <em> and one for <strong> and tell the ebook making guru what those mean. Not sure how I'd do that without different versions for each paragraph style. Some experimenting needed.

AND, if that happens, if someone who actually uses Word correctly creates a named style, it will emerge from formatting as a p style or a span, and there endeth the problem.

Of course the Interobang has never caught on. I've only seen it ever on the Internet in articles discussing it and in ONE book covering punctuation. I've not seen it in any ebook, or any printed novel ever.

And...in which fonts would we find that, she wondered‽ In my world, lads and ladies, if the character doesn't exist in fonts, it might as well be a Unicorn.
