In Redmine's text editor, to make any word bold you have to surround it with an asterisk * like *this*. My question is how could I make only one character bold? *t*his does not seem to work.
If you're using Textile as the text formatter in Redmine the only way to achieve this seems to be isolating the character with white spaces like this: bla *a* bla. I couldn't find another way in Textile.
If you use Markdown as your formatter in Redmine than it's possible to make a single character bold anywhere in the text like this: bla**b**la.
You can select the "Text Formatting" in "Administration" - "Settings" on the "General" tab. But be careful because changing the formatting after a while needs a migration job which is stated under the "Text Formatting" box:
"For migrating saved texts from textile to HTML use application from command line: "bundle exec rake easyproject:textile:migrate_all RAILS_ENV=production"
PS: This warning seems to be specific to our Redmine plugin called "Easyredmine". It could be different or completely nonexistent on a raw Redmine installation.
