	Because {{tlg\|code=yes\|nolink=yes\|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 {{~~tlx~~\|var\|...}} 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 {{tlg\|code=yes\|nolink=yes\|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.

	Strong emphasis is usually rendered visually in an italic (oblique AKA slanted) typeface by default on graphical browsers, but can be parsed and acted upon in customizable ways with style sheets, apps, and text‐to‐speech screen readers. It is said to be semantic markup, i.e. markup that conveys meaning or context, not just visual appearance. Simple italicizing is purely typographic and is semantically meaningless. It is most often used for titles of publications (books, films, albums, etc.), foreign words and phrases, words as words (when quotation marks are not used for that purpose), names of ships, scientific names of organisms and other cases where stylistic conventions demand italics, but they convey no sense of emphasis. The average reader, and average editor, do not and need not care about this distinction most of the time, but it can be important and editors who understand it can use this template as a baseline insurance against accidental or careless replacement.
