Strong Emphasis

Use *asterisks* for text to be strongly emphasized.

The <strong> HTML tag is applied:

a phrase → <strong>a phrase</strong> → a phrase

If the text is not meant to have structural emphasis, but simply to be styled in bold (e.g., as a design element) use double asterisks:

**a phrase** → <b>a phrase</b> → a phrase

NB: quick tags must open and close within a single paragraph to produce valid markup.
