Re: Semantic markup vs CSS styling for emphasis

Hi Mark,

There isn't a conflict between semantic markup and CSS - you would
simply use em or strong and style them -

for example, in your CSS document -
strong {
font-weight: bold;
text-transform: uppercase;
font-color: red; }

and wherever you use strong you'll get bold, capitalized red text.

Semantic _and_ attractive!
