Replying to ThurnerRupert:
is this intended?
Yes, as !<something> is usually used to negate the <something> Wiki markup.
In this case !''' is interpreted as "those three single quotes are not a token for bold style".
But yes, it's quite common to end emphasized sentences with a "!", so this was not a particular good choice. An alternative would have been to use the "\" character as a way to escape the Wiki markup, as it's far less common in normal writing than "!". But it's maybe a bit too late for such a change…
So unless someone has a better idea, we should at least document this in WikiFormatting#FontStyles
