If you want to emphasise a passage, use Italics. In the old days of mechanical typewriters you couldn’t do that. So instead people would hammer over the text two or three times to achieve boldness, or they would underline their text, or possibly choose to s p a c e o u t the passage or opt for CAPITAL LETTERS. Theoretically they could use any combination of these. Nowadays this is not necessary any more and it moreover disturbs the flow of reading. Italics have the advantage of sticking out just enough to be noticed without disturbing the overall picture.
