Never mind... ...that this is the only(!) link you can find related to that answer, but it also goes like this:
"The first syllable of these words is pronounced less forcefully than the second syllable. If we were to emphasize the stress using capital letters, the words might look like this: upHOLD, beNEATH, and inVENT. In poetic lines (also known as verse), 'iambic' just means that words in the line follow the pattern of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables."

If this was actually about syllables and not entire words, it would have been nice to see something about it in the question.

BTW An example:
"...nämlich die auf Augenhöhe rotierende rechte Faust zur Unterstreichung der Betonung bestimmter Wörter innerhalb seiner zumindest für sein Verständnis extravagant ausformulierten Sätzen..."

And here, from "Microsoft FrontPage 2002 Unleashed" by William R. Stanek:
"You can use normal, bold, italic, and bold italic. These different font types add emphasis and carry meanings."

I saw your post on another forum, Martina. They came to the same conclusion.

Unless you haven't told us something important, there's really not much else. Not sure why you're asking about intonation. It's a text, anyway.

"This is the usual (modern) way to express this in English..."

[Imagine me, with a Spanish accent] Ja ja. This is "emphasize the stress":

It's called "add emphasis" in English and if anybody wants me to post more links, please go to my Paypal account first. I don't have that much time.

Thank you Ramey and Kartik. The style of the text is serious.

Das ist eine Formatvorlage bzgl. dem Titel eines Beitrags für einen Sammelband.

Es werden die verschiedenen Überschriftenebenen erklärt:
1.1. Überschriftenebene 2
Hier folgt ein fett hervorgehobener Begriff zur Unterstreichung der Bedeutung.
Hier folgt ein kursiv hervorgehobener Begriff, zur Unterstreichung der Betonung.
„Ich bin ein Zitat.“

Good morning Martina! Can you give us little more context? The tone? Serious? Jocular? Advertising? Accent the accentuation? Point out the point? C'mon, give us little help here :-)!
