Differentiating Amendment Text

I have seen inserted text underlined, italicized, or in bold print. When a sentence has been struck and new text is inserted, is there a standard rule regarding differentiating the new text from the struck text? 

It has become common procedure, perhaps just through custom, that when a document such as bylaws (or a state statute or city ordinance) is being amended, strikethrough is used to indicate text which is being struck out by the amendment and underlining is used to indicate new text being inserted.  I don't know what the custom is, if any, regarding the use of italicized or bold print.
