  <expand|tmdoc-title|Content-based tags>

  The simplest examples of structure in a text are content-based tags. In
  <apply|menu|Text|content tags> you see a list of them. Content based tags
  indicate that a given portion of text is of a particular kind or that it
  serves a specific purpose. For instance, important text should be marked
  using the <markup|strong> tag. Its default rendering uses a bold type face,
  like in this <strong|strong text>. However, strong text might be rendered
  in a different way according to the document style. For instance, strong
  text may be rendered in a different color on transparencies for
  presentations. Here follows a short list of the most common content-based
  tags and their purpose:
