Editing Template:Em/doc (section)

==When this template should not be used==
Because {{tnull|em}} is strictly for semantic (meaningful) emphasis, it should not be used for layout, typography conventions (titles, foreign words, etc.), and other cases that are not true emphasis. In these different cases, italics wikicode <code><nowiki>''...''</nowiki></code> (which resolves to {{tag|i}} in the browser or other user agent) should be used instead (or special markup for a particular case, such as <code><nowiki>{{tlx|var|...}}</nowiki></code> or {{tag|var}} for variables in computer science and mathematics).  It should also not be used when the text to which it is applied is already italicized for some other reason (e.g., it is part of a book title); in such cases use {{tlx|strong}} instead.  Usually avoid using {{tnull|em}} in non-quoted sentences that end in an exclamation point. And it is usually excessive to use it on terms that are already wikilinked, since the link markup acts as a form of emphasis itself.

*"''The New York Times'' is an American daily newspaper." This example should use <code><nowiki>''The New York Times''</nowiki></code>.
