`@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.
