Emphasis
provides a method for indicating that certain text
should be stressed in some way.
Formatted inline.
Emphasized text is traditionally presented in italics or boldface.
A Role
attribute of
bold
or
strong
is often used to generate boldface, if italics is the default presentation.
Emphasis
is often used wherever its typographic
presentation is desired, even when other markup might theoretically
be more appropriate.
