I've seen in several articles on the Wiki, some differences about how this
is done, and I'm confused about the differences:
*Font_Switching* says: "There is a font switch \em to emphasize text. This
is somewhat special: it does automatic italic correction and changes the
alternative depending on the current alternative. For example, if the
current font alternative is normal (i.e. upright), \em switches to slanted;
and if the current font alternative is slanted, \em switches to normal."
And using \definebodyfontenvironment[default][em=italic] to use italic
instead of slanted; for OpenType fonts, recommends using
\definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] to also activate the italic
correction. However, this seems not to work in x(ht)ml export.
If you go to *Export*, it says: "Also note that switches like \em don’t
translate into output structure, you need to
\definehighlight[emph][style={\em}] and use as \emph{emphasized}." This is
what I'm currently using. Other parts of the Wiki show a similar solution,
but using style=italic, or style={\it}; I've seen others, but now I can't
find them.
Could you please guide me as to where is this documented in the manuals? Is
there any particular reason to choose any of these approaches above the
others? What is the recommended option if you want to have the \em
properties for emphasized text, but works for BOTH pdf and x(h)tml export?
Thank you for your time.

intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do
something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look
so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag
him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a
bitch.’” — Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell
