Comment 2 for bug 333085

@Dernhelm: I'm truly sorry, but this may be out of the point from the project perspective. PyRoom wants you to focus on the text, and juist the text. This tool is not meant to be a word-processor, it's just here to allow you to dive in your writing, regardless the formatting.
If we start to include "lightweight" formatting, this would lead to other word-processing options: center / alignments / styles (titles, paragraphs) / tables / image insertion, etc.

Obviously, the plugin systemp could allow such features to be implemented, but I couldn't advise to do so : PyRoom is a very efficient tool when it comes to write text out of distractions.
I'm using it to type my text, without any formatting, and copy-paste the result in a text-processor with formatting options to make it more readable.

If formatting is **really** what you want, you may have a look at AbiWord, which is a very lightweight word-processor ; it has a full-screen mode and you may use usual shortcuts to emphasize the texts the way you want it.

Regards,
