It may be necessary to insert highlighting tags like bold, italic, or underline if the sentence changes its structure in the target language. If you insert a highlighting tag, the corresponding end tag must be inserted, too. The first table lists the tags that reflect such highlighting that may be changed.
Most of the used markup tags for Microsoft (R) Word for Windows (R)have a start tag and an end tag. The end tag has the same name as the start tag, with a slash in front of the tag name. When the end tag is different from the start tag, it is given in addition to the start tag.
