Presentation is the rendering of the content and structure in a form that can be sensed by the user.
programmatically determined means that the specific value can be determined in a standard, machine or software readable form.
Task:
Indicating emphasis through semantic markup.
In written documents, emphasis can be created through grammar, syntax, and writing style. Emphasis can also be indicated through markup and by setting visual and/or auditory properties in an associated style sheet. Once again, we note that visual cues alone cannot ensure that user agents are able to identify content that should be emphasized.

Example 1. A written text that creates emphasis through grammar and writing style. "I. Told. You. Not. To. Do. That," he said through clenched teeth. (In this example, the deliberate use of one-word sentence fragments creates an impression that the speaker is very angry, and is pausing to emphasize each word. Further visual styling may be unnecessary.)
Example 2. A written text in which emphasis is indicated programmatically through markup and visually through typography. "I told you not to do that," he said through clenched teeth. (The use of italics in this example indicates that the word "told" is to be spoken more forcefully than the other words in the sentence. The sentence contains semantic markup, and the style sheet specifies that visual media should render the word in italics while speech output devices should slightly increase pitch and speech rate.)
Example 3. An auditory-only presentation delivered over the telephone. Emphasis is created entirely through phonetic and lexical markup such as the W3C's Synthetic Speech Markup Language (SSML) or other data models for controlling synthetic speech.
