“How Capital Letters Became Internet Code for Yelling”

There's a difference between emphasizing something and yelling it.

You can use * (asterisk) or _ (underscore) surrounding a word or words for emphasis. Like this (asterisk) or _this_. As you can see, asterisks get interpreted by HN into italics. So maybe you can think of underscores as _bold_?
