Emphasis

As mentioned previously, the emphasis tag is used to accent certain text. Note that this refers to semantic emphasis and not a typeface. Different stylesheets can render emphasis with different typefaces.

<para id='intro'>
  Gardenias are my absolute <emphasis>favorite</emphasis> 
  flower. Their petals are soft, and their bloom has an 
  absolutely <emphasis>heavenly</emphasis> scent.
</para>     

Term

The term tag is used to mark words or phrases which are being defined. However, its use is confined to either a para or definition tag. The term tag has one optional attribute: URL - a URL specifying the source or definition of the term.

<para id='gardenia'>
  <term url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gardenia">Gardenias
  </term> can be tricky to maintain.  The soil around the 
  roots of a <term>gardenia</term> must remain moist always, 
  but too much water can damage the plant.  Also, 
  <term>gardenias</term> enjoy the sun, but if the 
  <emphasis>foliage</emphasis> gets wet to bring the gardenia
  into the shade.
</para>      

Note

The note tag creates an "out of line" note to the reader. The type of note is specified by an optional type attribute. If a type is not specified, the default is Note. The type attribute can contain any of the following values:

<para id='pollen'>
  Receiving flowers is, on the whole, a wonderful thing.  
  However, sometimes pollen from the flowers can cause 
  problems.  In particular, the clean up of a bit of 
  pollen can be tricky.  <note type="Important">Do not 
  use water when cleaning up pollen!  This can lead to 
  counter-top and clothing stains!</note>  Your best bet 
  is to use a dry method of cleaning with a paper-towel.
</para>      

Link

The link tag is the tag in CNXML used for linking to other Connexions modules or collections as well as external links.

The target and document attributes can be used together or alone. If both are used then you will link to a particular tag in another document. If only document is used, you will link to another document. If only target is used, you will link to a particular tag within the current document.

Cite

The cite tag is used to refer to non-electronic materials within a document, and primarily contains the title, the author, and/or a page number of a work.

Finally, a good resource is the <cite>Garden Lover's 
Cookbook -- William M. Rice; Paperback</cite>.

Quote

The quote tag is used to denote that some text directly quotes another source. The quote tag has a display attribute which denotes whether the quote is inline or block.

<para id='plantquote'>
  Every plant needs a different amount of water in order to 
  grow well. <quote display="inline">"If you water each plant the same, you 
  will always water too much and too little."</quote>  Also, 
  remember the words of Lou Erickson: 
  <quote id="quote_example" display='block'>"Gardening requires lots of water - 
  most of it in the form of perspiration."</quote>
</para>

Foreign

The foreign tag is used to denote that a word or phrase foreign to the language of the document is being used.

<para id='plantquote2'>
  All flowers have a scientific name, often derived from 
  Latin.  <foreign>Gardenia augusta</foreign> is the name 
  of a type of gardenia found in Japan.
</para>

Code

The code tag is used to insert example computer output/input as either inline text within a paragraph or as a block of text. The code tag has a display attribute with two possible values:

<para id='copy'>
  In a unix terminal the command to copy a file is 
  <code display='inline'>cp original copy</code>.
</para>
