Typical uses on Wikipedia:
* In the [[Wikipedia:WP:LEAD|lead section of an article]], the article's title and its synonyms {{em|should}} be marked with {{tnull|strong}}. Example: "The {{strong|soma}}, or {{strong|perikaryon}}, or {{strong|cyton}}, is the bulbous end of a neuron." {{As of|February 2012}}, this is not yet common, but users should not revert it (nor criticize anyone for not using it).
* After the lead, it {{em|can}} be used to highlight crucial terms of importance only slightly secondary to that of the article title and its synonyms. For example, the article on a viral infection might use {{tnull|strong}} to highlight the names of two identified strains of the disease in a "Varieties" section, as an aid to scannability.
* In unusual cases (most often direct quotations) it is used to represent contextually important text, if the passage were spoken rather than written (e.g., because it indicates shouting).
