My previous question was "[Are paragraph spacing used for emphasis?](https://writing.stackexchange.com/questions/40894/are-paragraph-spaces-used-for-emphasis#comment66147_40894)" and that got me thinking even deeper about emphasizing. I'd like to emphasize to create tension and make the reader continue reading. I'm writing a first page, and to do so (in my opinion) I want the reader to question the last part, and I want to emphasize that part. I'd like to open my horizons a bit and (hopefully) discover some other ways to emphasize? Are there any other ways to emphasize paragraphs and sentences, other than changing the text itself (underline, bolding, etc) and adding spacing? Are there any benefits of each one?
