+/// Emphasizes content by toggling italics.
+///
+/// - If the current [text style]($text.style) is `{"normal"}`, this turns it
+///   into `{"italic"}`.
+/// - If it is already `{"italic"}` or `{"oblique"}`, it turns it back to
+///   `{"normal"}`.
+///
+/// # Example
+/// ```example
+/// This is _emphasized._ \
+/// This is #emph[too.]
+///
+/// #show emph: it => {
+///   text(blue, it.body)
+/// }
+///
+/// This is _emphasized_ differently.
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Syntax
+/// This function also has dedicated syntax: To emphasize content, simply
+/// enclose it in underscores (`_`). Note that this only works at word
+/// boundaries. To emphasize part of a word, you have to use the function.
