Bold text in a VI description by using CTRL-B

It would be nice to be able to add the bold tags to the text in the VI description dialog by selecting CTRL-B. If you don't have anything highlighted, it would simply add the <B></B> to where you have the cursor, and put the cursor in between so that you can immediately starting typing the text you want bolded. If you have highlighted text, then the <B> and </B> get added around the text so that it will show up bold.

 

Another alternative would be if the text simply is bolded, then you would get WYSIWYG in the VI description dialog, instead of having to mess with the HTML tags. Other text formatters could be added in a similar fashion.

Not a bad Idea Tom  But why stop at bold only.
