@emph{text} and @strong{text}

The @emph and @strong commands are for emphasis; @strong is stronger. In printed output, @emph produces italics and @strong produces bold.

For example,

     @quotation
     @strong{Caution:} @samp{rm * .[^.]*} removes @emph{all}
     files in the directory.
     @end quotation
     

         *Caution*: `rm * .[^.]*' removes _all_
         files in the directory.
     

The @strong command is seldom used except to mark what is, in effect, a typographical element, such as the word `Caution' in the preceding example.

In the Info output, @emph surrounds the text with underscores (_), and @strong puts asterisks around the text.

Caution: Do not use @strong with the word Note; Info will mistake the combination for a cross reference. Use a phrase such as Please note or Caution instead.
