Sparr, ALLOW, me to explain THAT Upper Case can be used for emphasis, yet it requires no mark up! YET, emphasis need not always have to be mark up as italic. _Also, the use of underscore can be used for other stylistic means. _Yet, semantics and style vary from author to author. regards Keith. P.S. nothing italic in the above!! ;-))) Am 12.10.2011 um 23:39 schrieb Sparr:
They don't require markup. But if they exist, then you can't use uppercase AS markup.
That is, you can take "The _italic_ word" and mark it up as ""The ITALIC word"", as was the very original tradition, but that fails when you try to mark up "The _italic_ CAPITAL word".

Excuse Me, but are UPPER CASE letters actually formatting that need be marked up.
