The use of italics for emphasis on the UniWiki should follow good English print style. The most [[UniWiki:Manual of Style/Accessibility|accessible]] way to indicate emphasis is with the HTML {{tag|em}}. Emphasis may be used to draw attention to an important word or phrase within a sentence, when the point or thrust of the sentence may otherwise not be apparent to readers, or to stress a contrast:
