*emphasis*
/emphasis/
_emphasis_
with most authorities recommending not bothering for the most part.
When I was learning to set hot lead, my teacher recommended not using italics, bold or underline unless I had a damn good reason to do so[0]. English, when written properly, has no real need for such crutches (or so she claimed).
[0] Meaning unless somebody was paying me to produce it.
