emphasized text
Documentation
This is a convenient template wrapper for the <em>...</em> HTML element, the proper markup for emphasized text, as distinct from purely typographic use of italics (<i>...</i> or, in wikimarkup, ''...''). The latter is for titles of published works, for foreign-language terms, and other purposes that are not semantic emphasis.
This template should be used sparingly, as trying to emphasize everything reduces the actual effect of emphasizing anything.
See also the strong (boldface) emphasis template, {{strong}}, used even more sparingly.
Usage:
{{em|the emphasized text here}}
If the content contains a = character, the parameter must be named (as |1=):
{{em|1=Italics != emphasis in HTML.}}
