Oh, well....you very very obviously don't work for self-published authors, then, if you believe THAT. Good God, nobody here would still be discussing this, in 2022, if we solely needed heading classes.

No bold? Gadzooks! Surely you jest! I've got a book in right now that has bold here, there and everywhere, plus italic, plus bold-italic (want fun? Try to find a bold-italic SANS SERIF face!!!) plus, yes, you got it, underlining.

Are we all having fun yet?
