A drawback with allowing emphasis there is that prefix and suffix become parsed data and not plain string anymore. As a consequence, searching through them, e.g., when looking for locator names, requires an additional level of indirection, since you need to first transform parsed data back into plain text. Of course, this is not a deal breaker, just something to know in order to eventually make an informed choice. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
