This is nonsense. I do not argue in favour of removing bold, italic and small caps. However, they should not be visible on top. Italic and small caps are only accessible via the character style dialog, bold is accessible via the character style dialog plus a shortcut, because we do not have a character style for it yet. > If you hide bold, why do not you hide noun, emph and others? Do > not tell me they are using charstyles. Of course. Noun (!= small caps) and emph (!= italics) are semantic markup, while bf is not. Apart from that, I have told you the reasoning in the part of the mail you have not quoted: > > What I think is that we should keep heading towards semantic markup.

The menu and toolbar icons for bold has not been removed for 1.5.0. I just do not see the sense in implementing it now for 2 or 3 minor releases. Jürgen
