This simple type specifies possible types of emphasis marks which may be displayed for each non-space character in a run. This character is rendered above or below the character glyph as specified by enumeration values.

example:
<w:rPr>
  <w:em w:val="dot"/>
</w:rPr>

This run explicitly declares that the emphasis mark type is dot, so the contents of this run will have a dot emphasis mark above each character. ]
