Text can be highlighted by using different type styles or color. There are nine highlighted-phrase tags you can use to emphasize text (:hp1. through :hp9.). Each tag requires a corresponding end tag (:ehp1. through :ehp9.).

In the following example, the highlighted phrases are shown as list items in a compact simple list.
