`@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:} @code{rm * .[^.]*} removes @emph{all}
     files in the directory.
     @end quotation

produces:

          *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 file, both `@emph' and `@strong' put asterisks around
the text.

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