Text Formatting ⇒ How to make certain text elements visually more appealing

[ingox]

In a longer text I included within different chapters round about 50 questions with their correspondent answers.

When I do not format them in a special manner they obviouly appear like normal text, which is not very appealing to the eye of the reader.

Is there any command I could use, to give them more visual relevance without using header or bold commands?


Example:

Question 21: How many constitutional monarchies do exist in Europe?

In Europe, there are .......


I got the same problem when I "translate" certain definitions.

Which commands could I use, to make those definitions within the text more relevant, visually speaking, without using again those commands for header or bold?

Example:

rex, "monarch" in Latin
regnum, "Kingdom" in Latin

...

[Johannes_B]

Could you give an example, so one can show you some stuff using the real thing?

quotation comes to mind, or mdframed.

Do you need anything numbered (automatically)?
