In printed output, <code>@emph</code> produces <em>italics</em> and <code>@strong</code> produces <strong>bold</strong>. In the Info output, <code>@emph</code> surrounds the text with underscores (‘<samp>_</samp>’), and <code>@strong</code> puts asterisks around the text. </p> <p>For example, </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">@strong{Caution:} @samp{rm * .[^.]*} removes @emph{all} files in the directory. </pre></div> <p>produces the following: </p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Caution</strong>: ‘<samp>rm * .[^.]*</samp>’ removes <em>all</em> files in the directory. </p></blockquote> <p>The <code>@strong</code> command is seldom used except to mark what is, in effect, a typographical element, such as the word ‘Caution’ in the preceding example. </p> <blockquote> <p><b>Caution:</b> Do not use <code>@strong</code> with the word ‘<samp>Note</samp>’ followed by a space; Info will mistake the combination for a cross-reference. Use a phrase such as <strong>Please notice</strong> or <strong>Caution</strong> instead, or the optional argument to <code>@quotation</code>—‘<samp>Note</samp>’ is allowable there. </p></blockquote> </div> </body> </html>
