To emphasize a word or a sequence of words in your content, use:
-
Bold text
-
Italicized text
-
Underlined text
-
Inline elements that are presented as bold text, such as
guilabel.
To learn how to use the emphasis element to add bold, italic, or underlined text, see Add Emphasis.
To learn how to add other inline elements, some of which may be styled to stand out in the published content, see Block elements and inline elements.
By using the emphasis element, you can create bold, italic, and underlined text. There are several ways to add the emphasis attribute to your content, and we will explain them all in this article.
Note
Some other inline elements are automatically styled to have bold text for emphasis. For example, guilabel is designed for user interface labels and appears as bold text. You can apply guilabel and other inline elements by using the Element Context Menu. For instructions, see Block elements and inline elements.
Tip
To apply more than one type of emphasis to the same text, use the toolbar options on the Edit toolbar. This is the only way to use a combination of emphasis styles.
To add emphasis from the Edit toolbar:
-
In the Content Manager, select a topic to open it in the editor.
-
Highlight the word or sequence of words that you want to be emphasized.
-
On the Edit tab, select the type of emphasis you want:
-
Bold
Bold uses the
emphasiselement. Theemphasiselement has aroleattribute with a value ofbold. -
Italic
Italic uses the
emphasiselement on its own, with noroleattribute.Note that some people may find italic difficult to read, especially for long sequences of words. For readability, it may be better to use a different style for emphasis.
-
Underline
Underline uses the
emphasiselement with aroleattribute that has its value set tounderline.
Note that with the toolbar options, you do not have to manually add the
emphasiselement or its role attribute and value. You highlight your text, select the toolbar button, and Paligo applies the element, attribute, and value for you. -
