Wikipedia is useless as a reference in any constructive discussion, except perhaps as a reference to a text sample (much like we might refer to inscriptions on a toilet wall). Besides, even the URL suggests that the page is about _expressing_ emphasis in typography rather than explaining what emphasis _is_ (as a device- and representation-independent concept). > <em> and <strong> are inline tags (in the inner of paragraph or > sentence) so when entire paragraph is involved, it's really about class > or role. That doesn't answer my question about emphasizing paragraphs. Calling emphasis "class" or "role" just avoids the question. -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
