CSS3 Text-Emphasis Property

The text-emphasis property is a shorthand for setting text-emphasis-style and text-emphasis-color in one declaration. The syntax for this is:

text-emphasis: text-emphasis-style text-emphasis-color;

Tip: A good font for emphasis marks is Adobe's "Kenten Generic OpenType Font", which is specially designed for the emphasis marks.

Value Description
text-emphasis-style Applies emphasis marks to the element's text
text-emphasis-color Defines the foreground color of the emphasis marks

The text-emphasis property is not supported in any of the major browsers. (So why did W3Schools even bother with this at all?)
