17.18.24 ST_Em

This simple type specifies an enumerated list of emphasis marks, any one of which may be selected to be applied to each non-space character in a run. When displayed, the position of the emphasis mark relative to the character to which it is applied is language- and writing-direction-dependent. When displayed, the glyph used for the emphasis mark is implementation-dependent.

[Example: Consider a run of text that is to have a dot emphasis mark applied to it. This is specified using the following WordprocessingML:

<w:rPr>
  <w:em w:val="dot"/>
</w:rPr>
_end example_]
