# `MD050` - Strong style
Tags: `emphasis`
Aliases: `strong-style`
Parameters:
- `style`: Strong style (`string`, default `consistent`, values `asterisk` /
`consistent` / `underscore`)
Fixable: Some violations can be fixed by tooling
This rule is triggered when the symbols used in the document for strong do not
match the configured strong style:
```markdown
**Text**
__Text__
```
To fix this issue, use the configured strong style throughout the document:
```markdown
**Text**
**Text**
```
The configured strong style can be a specific symbol to use ("asterisk",
"underscore"), or can require that usage be consistent within the document.
Note: Emphasis within a word is restricted to "asterisk" in order to avoid
unwanted emphasis for words containing internal underscores like_this_one.
Rationale: Consistent formatting makes it easier to understand a document.
