====================================================
The general rule for the container in which the text rang elements are
inserted should be: (<TEXT> | Emphasis | Blue)*
        OR
Emphasis and Blue must be inclusions.

Then, you highlight the text to be formatted, and wrap it in the Emphasis
element. Next, you select element Emphasis in the structure view, and wrap
it in the Blue element.
