Oh how useful text-emphasis would be if it didn’t affect line height.

@aral

I have always been frustrated by the lack of consensus on how to emphasize flat text.

Is it:

I am NOT gonna take it anymore?

or

I am *not* gonna take it anymore?

or

I am _not_ gonna take it anymore?

Caps kinda work in the example above, because I'm shouting.

They not so good when you're just being emphatic, as in:

Crossing by covered wagon took six months. Today, we can fly across in six HOURS.

What do you use?
