emphasis

Node type: Element (may contain text and/or other elements)

Whitespace: Not protected

Definition

Marks text that should be emphasized in some way apart from adjacent text. Text marked as emphasis is generally displayed in italics.

Code Sample

<para paraID="12">“Brethren, it is in <emphasis>doing</emphasis>—not just <emphasis>dreaming</emphasis>—that lives are blessed” (Thomas<nb/>S. Monson, in Conference Report, Oct. 2006, 64; or <emphasis>Ensign,</emphasis> Nov. 2006, 58).</para>

Display Sample

“Brethren, it is in doing—not just dreaming—that lives are blessed” (Thomas S. Monson, in Conference Report, Oct. 2006, 64; or Ensign, Nov. 2006, 58).

Notes

Emphasis inside emphasis turns the emphasis off again. Generally, do not use emphasis to make elements like titles or captions italic. This will be done with paragraph styles in InDesign and on the Web.

Marking in Microsoft Word

Use the emphasis character style. To embed <emphasis> in another character style, apply the italics character attribute directly.
