Philip, are you being purposely obtuse? I offered you a definition of "emphasis" that explains that emphasis is to "accent the appearance" and goes on to mention bold and underline. I assumed that you could infer italic on your own. My point was once again to clarify that italic, bold, underline, ALL CAPS, strikethrough, "quoting" and color changes are all forms of emphasis. 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, and therefore, <i> and <b> are synonyms for <em> and <strong>.
