as quote one of the few people in this group who uses an aural presentation full-time unquote, i must ask: who said that EM is equivalent to I? i use EM to demarcate faux quotes, air-quotes, or emphatic quotes, using the :before and :after pseudo-elements: /* begin example */ @media screen { em.air-quote { font-style: normal; } em.air-quote:before { content: open-quote; } em.air-quote:after { content: close-quote; } } @media aural { em { richness: 75; stress: 70; pitch-range: 70; } em.air-quote { richness: 100; pitch-range: 80; stress: 80; } } /* end example */ EMPHASIS is not synonomous with italics -- italics are merely one means of visually rendering an emphasized word; likewise, STRONG does not necessarily equal bolded text: the styling is bounded only by the author's imagination, and the user's ability to use a client side stylesheet. gregory. ------------------------------------------------------------- SELF-EVIDENT, adj.
