Application of multiple character tags in generated

[Chris Despopoulos]

I agree with Richard Combs...  You should create your special char tag to account for the effect you get by applying two more general char tags.  But I'd go a step further.  Don't name it Italic_Bold, or anything like that.  In fact, you should never name your char tags (or any other tags) by the formatting effect.  Stop and think of the *category* that formatting implies for the reader.  Give that category a name, and use that as the name for your tag.  If you can't come up with such a name, then maybe you should question the use of the formatting...  Maybe it doesn't impart any information after all.  

The benefit of this approach is that you are implicitly declaring the structure of your document.  If the day ever comes that you want to map your docs to explicit structure, you have the information already in place.  And it just makes for better document engineering.  As you have seen, even Maker can't automate its processes based on your combinations of formats.  Suppose you want to write a script that manages precisely these bits of text...  Well, using a single, well named format makes that much easier to accomplish.
