The quoted passage from the Texinfo manual just says that @strong is seldom used, it does not say "do not use it except in the following situations". Please do not make any changes that are stylistic in nature, because style preferences are deeply personal, and we don't want to start arguments over personal preferences. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
