Summary description: Upright Brackets in Emphasized Text License type: lppl
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package redefines emph and extit so that parentheses and squared brackets are typeset upright. It is strongly based on an article by Dominik Waßenhoven in “Die TeXnische Komödie” 2 (2012), pp. 51--53 which introduced code by Bruno Le Floch (see http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/13048/upright-parentheses-in-italic-t...). Code parts and idea used with their kind permission. Many thanks!
