``Semantic'' formatting means that your code should \textit{mean} something. It other words, you need to distinguish between when you are emphasizing something (i.e., ``This is \textit{very} good cake.'') or merely when you are marking something as italic or bold as a convention, such as book and movie titles or vocabulary words (i.e., \textit{The Grapes of Wrath}, \textit{Star Wars}, ``\textbf{mitosis} is the process of cell division'', etc.). ``Semantic'' formatting means that your code should \textit{mean} something.

In \LaTeX{}, the command for emphasizing text is \verb|\emph{<text>}|. This generally gets rendered as italic text, although not always. For example, the \textsf{beamer} document class renders it as red text, rather than italic text, as this work better in most presentations. (check this) In \LaTeX{}, the command for emphasizing text is \verb|\emph{<text>}|. This generally gets rendered as italic text, although not always. If you are working in a document class that formats \verb|\emph{<text>}| in some way other than italic, you can always change it to italic by adding this to your preamble:
\begin{Verbatim}[frame=lines, numbers=left, xleftmargin=5mm, framesep=3mm, breaklines=true, label=\fbox{Redefining emph}]
\let\emph\relax
\DeclareTextFontCommand{\emph}{\itseries}
\end{Verbatim}
