  Emphasis (typography) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In typography, emphasis is the exaggeration of words in a text with a font in a different style from the rest of the text—to emphasize them.
A means of emphasis that does not have much effect on "flness" is printing in italics, where the text is written in a script style, or oblique, where the vertical orientation of all letters is slanted to the left or right.
With both italics and boldface, the emphasis is correctly achieved by temporarily replacing the current typeface.

 Emphasis (typography)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
In typography, emphasis usually refers to means of stressing parts of a text by using different types of letters to make them stand out from the main text body or employing different alphabets or characters but with the same meaning or sounds.
A means of emphasis that does not have much effect on "flness" is printing in italics, where the vertical orientation of all letters is tilted to the right.
The reason for this particular German typographic convention must be seen in the traditional use of Fraktur typefaces, for which boldface was not feasible, since the letters were very dark in the first place.

 OWL at Purdue University: Adding Emphasis - Printer Version
In order to show emphasis, to highlight the title of a book, to refer to a word itself as a word, or to indicate a foreign word or phrase, the writer would use underlining in the typescript, which would signal the typesetter at the print shop to use italic font for those words.
Emphasis by repetition of key words can be especially effective in a series, as in the following example.
The increased number of joggers, the booming sales of exercise bicycles and other physical training devices, the record number of entrants in marathon races--all clearly indicate the growing belief among Americans that strenuous, prolonged exercise is good for their health.

 Emphasis in HTML: em, strong, and de-emphasis
Some emphasis isn’t meant to play a role when reading the text, only to draw attention to the text on the basis of key words or phrases, or sometimes sentences.
Italics is the usual way to indicate “local” emphasis in print matter, whereas bolding is one of the ways to highlight, and the normal way in fl and white print matter these days.
In speech, the rendering should differ from simple emphasis of individual words; for example, a clear pause before the statement could be used, and the statement could be read in a completely different tone of voice (say, male voice as opposite to female voice for normal text).

 AUE: Use of Quotation Marks for Emphasis   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Many people laugh at these "emphasis quotes," because, when read in the ordinary way, they seem to indicate that the word in quotes is not to be taken literally.
Others contend that these "emphasis quotes" are a fait accompli in English usage—their very abundance legitimizes them, and we should adjust our perceptions of quotation marks to include this function of providing emphasis.
It has been argued that there are already other ways, such as italics, to provide emphasis, but it is hard to refute the counter-argument that all punctuation marks serve more than one purpose, most, including quotation marks themselves, serving several.

 [No title]
With an understanding of the spiritual significance of each event together with the number that is hidden within the time paths, it might be possible to write somewhat different sentences that are still in harmony with the Gospel.
Since 2 is the number signifying the church or believers and a doubling of the number gives it added emphasis, we can understand that God has in mind that God is teaching that the church very definitely will be brought into existence before the end of the world.
