HTML question: em, strong

I noticed that whenever I use <em> and <strong> tags (instead of <i> and <b> )in my Barbelith messages, they get filtered out and the formatting is lost. Is there any reason for this?

There's a reason in that only certain tags are allowed on Barbelith for a fairly good reason - ie. some things break everything and it's easier to handle user-generated content when their palette of formatting options is smaller. But there's no particular reason why em and strong tags should be filtered as far as I can tell so I'll look into changing that.

You should now find that <strong> and <em> now work on the board. Have fun with them.
