Using the <emphasis> tag

Description The emphasis tag is used to identify text in a CNXML document that you want or need to emphasize. Please note that this tag refers to semantic emphasis and not to any specific typeface, since different style sheets may render emphasized text using different typefaces.
Example
This CNXML:
<para id="emphexample">
  In addition to bananas and ice cream, a 
  proper banana split requires whipped cream, 
  nuts, <emphasis>and</emphasis> cherries.  
  Remember that the quality of the dessert 
  depends on the ice cream, so do 
  <emphasis>not</emphasis> use a generic 
  brand.
</para>
