--- Comment #11 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote@utsa.edu> ---
Believe the autocorrect mechanism can be adjusted to apply either DF as now, or
alternatively a Character "Style" set by user preference. But here the DF
should probably remain the default.

With Tiago S's addition of markup for Italic and Strikethrough in 2016 [1],
there are now four LO edit engine "autocorrect characters" [2] that when used
in start/end pairs will apply direct text formatting, when that autocorrect
feature is set enabled [3][4]. 

That is the FnChgWeightUnderl autocorrect is active by default now and assigns
"*", "/", "-", "_" markup these character attribute formats respectively [5]:

"*" pair => ( WEIGHT_BOLD, SID_ATTR_CHAR_WEIGHT )
"/" pair => ( ITALIC_NORMAL, SID_ATTR_CHAR_POSTURE )
"-" pair => ( STRIKEOUT_SINGLE, SID_ATTR_CHAR_STRIKEOUT )
"_" pair => ( LINESTYLE_SINGLE, SID_ATTR_CHAR_UNDERLINE )

While "Emphasis" and "Strong Emphasis" character styles exist and could now be
used and adjusted as needed, currently there are no matching character styles
defined suitable to take a Strikethrough or Underline markup. Those would
reqire new styles be defined and added to default templates.
