<p><strong> bold at at start of file </strong></p>

<p><strong>bold</strong>, <em>italics</em>, <u>underline</u>, <sup>superscript</sup>, <u>subscript</u>, 
and <tt>monospace</tt> all work the same way.</p>

<p><em> italics at start of paragraph </em></p>

<p>a paragraph with 
<tt> monospace in the middle </tt>
with more after</p>

<p><u> underline with
no closing 
markup</u></p>

<ul>
    <li><sub> subscript as first list item,
continued on second line </sub></li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>first list item</li>
    <li><sup> superscript as second item, no closing tag</sup></li>
    <li>with more to come</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>first item</li>
<ol>
    <li><tt> monospace <strong> with bold </strong> as first subitem in numbered list </tt></li>
<ul>
    <li>another sublist after <em> with italics </em></li>
</ul>
</ol>
</ul>
<h1>heading <strong> with bold </strong>, which is redundant but possible</h1>

<h2>heading <em> with italics </em> is not redundant</h2>

    <tr>
        <td>here's a table</td>
        <td>with <em> italics in it</em></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>second row <sup> squared </sup></td>
        <td>etcetera</td>

<p>here's a <a href="link">link <em><strong> with bold italics </strong></em> in it</a>.  
here's some <u><em> <strong> bold </strong> inside italics </em> and underlined </u>.  
here's what happens when you don't mix <strong> bold and <em> italics </em></strong> <em> properly.  
don't try it in <tt> __ inline nowiki __ </tt>, but feel free to put it
<tt> </tt></em> inside monospace <em> <tt>.  </tt></em></p>

<pre>
no point in trying to put ^^ superscript ^^ inside nowiki blocks either

<dl>
  <dt>how 'bout  <strong><u> Underlined bold </u></strong> in a definition list?</dt>
    <dd></dd>
    <dd>not to mention, the actual <em> italicized definition </em></dd>

<div style="margin-left: 2em"><p> should also be able to put <strong> bold <sup> and superscript </sup> </strong> in an
indented paragraph</p>
