Element

Element functions can be customized with set and show rules.

Emphasizes content by toggling italics.

• If the current text style is "normal", this turns it into "italic".
• If it is already "italic" or "oblique", it turns it back to "normal".

Example

This is _emphasized._ \
This is #emph[too.]

#show emph: it => {
  text(blue, it.body)
}

This is _emphasized_ differently.

Syntax

This function also has dedicated syntax: To emphasize content, simply enclose it in underscores (_). Note that this only works at word boundaries. To emphasize part of a word, you have to use the function.
