Murray Maloney: > Will somebody help me out here? I don't know how I can be any clearer > about fact that italic and bold are merely forms of emphasis, They are phenomena of emphasis. They're not emphases themselves. On a print-out you cannot distinguish a phrase italicised for some reason from a phrase emphasised through italics, at least not without taking the context into account. In markup you can. > and therefore, <i> and <b> are synonyms for <em> and <strong>. They aren't quite, although they're often perceived like that.
