Synopsis
<EM>...</EM>
End Tag: Required
The EM
element is
one of a large group of elements that the HTML 4.0 recommendation
calls phrase elements. Such elements assign
structural meaning to a designated portion of the document. An
EM
element is one that is to be rendered
differently from running body text to designate emphasis.
Browsers have free rein to determine how (or whether) to distinguish
EM
element content from the rest of the
BODY
element. Both Navigator and Internet Explorer
elect to italicize the text. This can be overridden with a style
sheet as you see fit.
Example
<P>The night was dark, and the river's churning waters were <EM>very</EM> cold.</P>
