The emphasis element is an inline element that indicates that the text it contains should be emphasized.

The presentation of text contained in this element varies depending on the output format.

HTML: Rendered as bold (using the <strong> tag) by default. Presentation may be overridden by creating or modifying a CSS stylesheet that formats the emphasis class.
Text: Text is surrounded in *astrisks* by default. May be overridden by specifying the text.emphasis.start and text.emphasis.end parameters when processing the résumé with an XSLT processor like Xalan or Saxon.
XSL-FO/PDF: Rendered as bold text.
