Base16 colorschemes don't. Maybe there's a design reason for that, but if other users like me prefer to see italic and bold instead of meaningless colors whenever they're editing markdown text, they can change the colorschemes manually thus:\r\n\r\n```bash\r\ncd base16-vim/colors\r\nsed -ri '/Italic/ s/^([^,]*,){5} \"(none)?/\\1 \"italic/' *vim\r\nsed -ri '/Bold/ s/^([^,]*,){5} \"(none)?/\\1 \"bold/' *vim\r\n```\r\n\r\nThis issue was originally posted at chriskempson/base16-vim#128"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chriskempson/base16/issues/comments/269621156","html_url":"https://github.com/chriskempson/base16/issues/76#issuecomment-269621156","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/chriskempson/base16/issues/76","id":269621156,"user":{"login":"chriskempson","id":473831,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/473831?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson","html_url":"https://github.com/chriskempson","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/chriskempson/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-12-29T12:05:17Z","updated_at":"2016-12-29T12:05:17Z","body":"Thanks for reposting this here. It was a while ago I made this design choice but I believe I originally wanted to avoid bold and italic as for syntax highlighting cues as I believed that colours were more easily identifiable. That and I think not all terminals have bold text enabled or perhaps not all fonts have a bold or italic variant and I wanted to try and ensure this looked the same for as many people as possible.\r\n\r\nThe colours you mention aren't actually meaningless, as you can see here: http://chriskempson.com/projects/base16 their uses are explained. Couple this up with the visual notations that markdown has e.g. **emphasis** and I think it is quite easy to see what is going on."}}
