\begin{tabular}{ll}
\verb?\rm? changes to the normal ``roman'' font: & \rm Roman\\
\verb?\sl? changes to a slanted roman font:      & \sl Slanted\\
\verb?\it? changes to an italic font:            & \it Italic\\
\verb?\tt? changes to an ``typewriter'' font:    & \tt Typewriter\\
\verb?\bf? changes to a boldface font:           & \bf Boldface
\end{tabular}
\end{quote}

   In \LaTeX\ the control sequence \verb?\em? {\em emphasizes\/}
text, switching from non-italic to {\it italic} and {\it from
italic to {\em roman}.}

These accents are for use in ordinary text. They cannot be
used within mathematical formulae, since different control 
sequences are used to produce accents within mathematics.
