Comment (by hugobaeta):

 Replying to [comment:79 mor10]:
 > `<mark>` may well work, but it's not readily available to the end-user.
 The example shows a text that is being highlighted by the person quoting
 it, whereas an emphasis or strong emphasis comes from the original author.
 Different contexts.

 Why do you say it isn't readily available to the end-user? it seems to be
 well supported... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
 US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/mark

 According to MDN: "The HTML Mark Element (<mark>) represents highlighted
 text, i.e., a run of text marked for reference purpose, due to its
 relevance in a particular context." They also note: "Do not confuse the
 <mark> element with the <strong> element. The <strong> element is used to
 denote spans of text of importance in context of the text, when the <mark>
 element is used to denote spans of text of relevance to a different
 context."

 I'm not 100% sure, but seems like the right context for it, right @mor10 ?
