Emphasis (bold and italics)
Bold
Use bold to emphasise a word rather than using all capital letters or underlining. This is easier to read and avoids confusion.

Italics
Do not use italics as they're difficult to read, as it’s hard to recognise word shapes if all the letters are set at an angle.

Underline
Do not use underline for emphasis as underlined text is used to show links to other webpages. When it isn't a link, this will create confusion.
Exclamation marks
An exclamation mark is used to show strength of feeling. Use them sparingly.
