## Description

One-click implementation of the [New York Times open-source emphasis script](http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/11/emphasis-update-and-source/)
which allows users to highlight and link to specific text within an article or post.

In their own words:

> Emphasis provides dynamic paragraph-specific anchor links and
>  the ability to 
> highlight text in a document, all of which is made available in the URL hash so
> it can be emailed, bookmarked, or shared.

The plugin allows for permalinking and highlighting of text on a paragraph and sentence
level. No need to set anything up. Just install, tap shift twice, and start highlighting.

See [The New York Times](http://open.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/01/11/emphasis-update-and-source/)
for syntax more information on general usage.
