# MD049 - Emphasis style should be consistent
Tags: emphasis
Aliases: emphasis-style
Parameters:
* `style`: Emphasis style should be consistent (`string`, default `consistent`, values `asterisk`/`consistent`/`underscore`)
Fixable: Most violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered when the symbols used in the document for emphasis do not
match the configured emphasis style:
```markdown
*Text*
_Text_
```
To fix this issue, use the configured emphasis style throughout the document:
```markdown
*Text*
*Text*
```
The configured emphasis style can be a specific symbol to use ("asterisk",
"underscore"), or can require that usage be consistent within the document.
Rationale: Consistent formatting makes it easier to understand a document.
