I left off the advantages of a properly formatted numbered list when giving step by step instructions, and how italics or bold are better for emphasis than *this* or THIS, because the first requires that you are familiar with that convention, and the second is hard to use without being rude, whereas the visual differences in italics and bold immediately draw your eye and work better.
