I understand this. Ok. In my document, I would like that the reader
take caution of a word. If I was under a word processor, I would set
the bold attribute on. Here it's something that I would the reader take
care; like a 'ATTENTION DANGER' message :-)). So what can I use ?? I
know that I can take a GREAT look to the documentation of DocBook. I
did this; but nothing appear to my eyes ... (even if I'm a frenchi :-)).

Idea ?

Regards
