Using boldface or italics is the usual method. These are semantically represented by the strong and em markup. Other options might be to change the colour or shade of the text, or to give it a different background colour or shade. Underlining is a bit problematic in that it runs through the descenders of letters that have them and can make reading more difficult. It is a bit ugly to my mind too, as well as being potentially confusing in a web context since links are underlined by default. As soon as you stray from em and strong you are probably going to lose the "emphasis" of your text for users of non-visual browsers and other non-standard devices that can't convey the changed colour or shade to the user. I can tell you are having trouble describing what you want to do and possibly why. Is it possible that you could give us an example and some context so that we can understand a bit more? -- Peter Williams ****************************************************** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help ******************************************************
