Markdown
Add markdown as an optional text formatting when adding tasks: http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/
not sure of you stack... BUT the python version of markdown is pretty robust and has lots of plugins for creating tables, inserting images, etc...

I second this. Would be a huge help if we could make words bold, italic or highlighted for easy scanning in long lists.

Hello Ashish,
You can use basic formating by selecting the text and pressing Ctrl+B to make it bold or Ctrl+I to make it italic. The syntax for this formatting is:
This word will be !! bold !!
This word will be __italic__
Best regards,
David

The formatting options for bold and italics should be changed to conform with the Markdown standard. This should be rather easy to implement. Markdown is becoming quite widespread and it adds a layer of unnecessary confusion when standards aren't observed.
