In Redmine's text editor, to make any word bold you have to surround it with an asterisk * like *this*. My question is how could I make only one character bold? *t*his does not seem to work.

You can use *t*<notextile></notextile>his to achieve this.

Works for me thanks, although it is a bit inconvenient - but that is not grinderX19 fault. But it seems his answer was downvoted? Why? Is there a better solution (when using textile)? – John Archer Jul 24 '15 at 14:50

[As per Redmine's Administrator](http://www.redmine.org/issues/1939#note-4) "Wiki Formatting within a Word is not (and won't be) supported. Texile doesn't support this.", so grinderX19's workaround should be the best solution. – Abe Jan 14 '19 at 17:46

If you're using Textile as the text formatter in Redmine the only way to achieve this seems to be isolating the character with white spaces like this: bla *a* bla. I couldn't find another way in Textile.
If you use Markdown as your formatter in Redmine than it's possible to make a single character bold anywhere in the text like this: bla**b**la.
You can select the "Text Formatting" in "Administration" - "Settings" on the "General" tab. But be careful because changing the formatting after a while needs a migration job which is stated under the "Text Formatting" box:
"For migrating saved texts from textile to HTML use application from command line: "bundle exec rake easyproject:textile:migrate_all RAILS_ENV=production"
PS: This warning seems to be specific to our Redmine plugin called "Easyredmine". It could be different or completely nonexistent on a raw Redmine installation.

I have raw Redmine and under "Text Formatting" only available options are "Textile" or "None". – BTR Naidu Jun 24 '14 at 16:19

1Installed the https://github.com/alminium/redmine_redcarpet_formatter plugin and it worked. Thanks. – BTR Naidu Jun 24 '14 at 17:16

You can use ==*t*==his to achieve this (more compact then *t*<notextile></notextile>his).
But I can't do database with something like this :(

I'm using this approach when I needed to bold only one single character:
*X *
It is combination of actual symbol X and non-breaking space
Works well with redmine textile!
