In print the name of a publication is typically type-set in an oblique or italic font. A similar *visual* effect can be achieved either through the use of:
- an italic font-tag <i>Publication</i> (probably deprecated)
- an emphasis tag <em>Publication</em>
- styling a span <span class="pub">Publication</span> (with companion CSS)
As far as I'm aware, none of these methods have anything to recommend them from a semantic perspective.
Is there an alternative convention or standards-endorsed markup to communicate that the enclosed text refers to a publication?
Elegance preferred (i.e. rather than adding title tags to any of the above options).
