Keep doing what you’ve been doing with the asterisks before and after a word or clause. It doesn’t work with just one. I think you may have misunderstood the explanation. The “8” that IMudd had in his post was, I think, actually meant to be a bone. BUT, sometimes, when you see an 8, it just means that the person missed hitting the shift key to get the asterisk, in other words a typo like: 8puppybreath8 or something similar. As far as I know, there is no way to get bold or italic fonts with only the necessary symbols on one side of the word/phrase. They have to be on both sides, like you’ve been doing. And, a regular 8 means nothing but the actual numerical value, infinity (if you can manage to get it on its side — good luck with that), and sometimes, even a bone!
I hope I’ve clarified…and not confused you further! Hugs to you!
