Description

As discussed at #297 (e.g. this comment by @ericonr), i think it would be good to draw readers' attention to warnings via bolding. However, to ensure a consistent meaning for bolding, i think it should perhaps only be used in such cases, rather than to e.g. introduce terms, as in #177, where emphasis via *term* could be used instead.

(However, i don't think this issue should be considered a blocker for #177.)
