Richard,
I'm not sure what you mean by "underlined boldface." (I think I know what
you mean by "bracketed boldface.") If you want bolded underlined text, you
can write either
[_this is underlined and bold_]
or
_[this is also underlined and bold]_
and they're both the exact same size text. The first one translates to
<B><U>this is underlined and bold</U></B>
and the second one translates to
<U><B>this is also underlined and bold</B></U>
You can also center those in a table cell, for example
~< flush left top line
~| centered top line
~> flush right top line
~< flush left
~| [_centered_]
~> flush right
~< flush left bottom line
~| centered bottom line
~> flush right bottom line

I'm not sure if this will help you or not but you can use the # character in
a link and give the name or the URI of the transcluded page. For example,
if you have a page named Fnord and on it you do
<<Blurfl>>
to transclude the page Blurfl, it magically creates a #Blurfl anchor tag on
your page using <A NAME="#Blurfl">. Accordingly, from other pages, you can
write
<Fnord#Blurfl Click here to go to Blurfl on Fnord> (in FTX)
which translates to
<A HREF="Fnord#Blurfl>Click here to go to Blurfl on Fnord</A> (in HTML)

OK, lemme think about the issues. Maybe I can add this for cases where
you're transcluding your own pages.

Ya, the "already transcluded" check added to prevent infinite loops. It
probably should be smarter so that it allows multiple transclusions in cases
where the transcluded page doesn't loop back. In theory, I'm not sure
offhand how feasible/fast it is to detect whether a directed graph is cyclic
or acyclic though. In practice, what do/did you want to multiply transclude?
