+==== Workplan ====
 This WG is transversal to WGs 1-3 and will focus on how the Action serves inter- and intra-linguistic
 diversity. Its activities will overlap with the 3 other WGs in:
-  - Networking for diversity:
+  - **Networking** for diversity:
      * bringing together pre-existing groups dedicated to NLP-applicable universality,
      * integrating experts of (notably low-resourced) languages not yet covered by these groups,
      * integrating experts in linguistic typology;
-  - Quantifying diversity:
+  - **Quantifying** diversity:
-     * designing measures of inter- and intra-linguistic diversity in language resources and tools,
+     * designing **measures of inter- and intra-linguistic diversity** in language resources and tools,
      * using these measures to quantify diversity in UD and PARSEME corpora;
   - Promoting diversity:
-     * procedures for better use of the existing resources, based on their estimated diversity,
+     * procedures for **better use of the existing resources**, based on their estimated diversity,
-     * selecting new data to be annotated, so as to favour intra-linguistic diversity,
+     * **selecting new data** to be annotated, so as to favour intra-linguistic diversity,
-     * designing evaluation scenarios which favour tools performing well on rare and diverse phenomena and low resourced languages,
+     * designing **evaluation scenarios** which favour tools performing well on rare and diverse phenomena and low resourced languages,
-     * integrating and training new experts dedicated to low-resourced and endangered languages,
+     * integrating and **training** new experts dedicated to low-resourced and endangered languages,
-     * validating the unified annotation guidelines (WG1) and lexicon formats (WG2) against newly included languages and defining new language-specific categories and extensions, if needed,
+     * validating the unified annotation **guidelines** (WG1) and **lexicon formats** (WG2) against newly included languages and defining new language-specific categories and extensions, if needed,
-     * coordinating of the creation and enhancement of annotated corpora and lexica for low-resourced languages,
+     * coordinating of the creation and enhancement of annotated **corpora** and **lexica** for low-resourced languages,
-     * discovering and analysing rare linguistic phenomena, and describing them in resources and tools,
+     * discovering and analysing **rare** linguistic **phenomena**, and describing them in resources and tools,
-     * coordination of the development of NLP tools (WG3) for low-resourced and endangered languages.
+     * coordination of the development of NLP **tools** (WG3) for low-resourced and endangered languages.
