Have you ever come across the insanely rare use case of wanting to put something in italic or bold?

Or even more insane, maybe wanting to add a link in an email?

Or, you ever purchase anything online? It’s kind of nice to have line items in receipts and an image of the thing I bought. But then again, I’m an irrational human who enjoys things like “aesthetic readability.”

As a true purist, do you also exclusively program in Machine code? Because that’s how all software was originally designed to be.

Seems silly to get religious about it.
