 Similarly to other ASB scenarios, ISOTs have gradually developed into something of a mini-genre, big enough to even have subgenres of its own. Here are some of the popular and common types (or subgenres) of ISOTs:
-  - ISOTing small pieces of territory, usually from a more technologically advanced era to a less advanced era, or to a noticably alternate timeline or fictional world
+  - **ISOTing small pieces of territory**, usually from a more technologically advanced era to a less advanced era, or to a noticably alternate timeline or fictional world
-  - ISOTing entire sovereign countries (or other self-governing areas), either individually or in groups, to a different historical era (commonly also from the future to the past), or a different timeline, or a fictional world
+  - **ISOTing entire sovereign countries** (or other self-governing areas), either individually or in groups, to a different historical era (commonly also from the future to the past), or a different timeline, or a fictional world
-  - ISOTing a group of people, either purely civilians or military personnel or even both, to a different historical era, different timeline, or a fictional world, usually with enough equipment for basic survival and getting by in the early days after the ISOT
+  - **ISOTing a group of people**, either purely civilians or military personnel or even both, to a different historical era, different timeline, or a fictional world, usually with enough equipment for basic survival and getting by in the early days after the ISOT
-  - ISOTing individual items (tools, machinery, plans and blueprints, textbooks, powerful artefacts, etc.) rather than people from one era to another era, or to different timeline or fictional world
+  - **ISOTing individual items** (tools, machinery, plans and blueprints, textbooks, powerful artefacts, etc.) rather than people from one era to another era, or to different timeline or fictional world
-  - personal ISOTs, where only a single person is ISOTed to a different era, or a different timeline or fictional world, instead of a whole group of people (usually, the individual gets ISOTed with minimum possessions)
+  - **personal ISOTs**, where only a single person is ISOTed to a different era, or a different timeline or fictional world, instead of a whole group of people (usually, the individual gets ISOTed with minimum possessions)
-  - various plausible combinations of the above scenarios
+  - various plausible **combinations of the above** scenarios
-  - the 'self-insert' (SI), where a mundane person or some historical personality wakes up in the body and mind of a (different) historical personality from another period, or a fictional character from a fictional setting
+  - the '**self-insert**' (**SI**), where a mundane person or some historical personality wakes up in the body and mind of a (different) historical personality from another period, or a fictional character from a fictional setting
 Many of these ISOT types are not unique to AH.com works, having also appeared in many published non-AH.com works by various authors of speculative fiction. However, some occur on AH.com scenarios, timelines and stories with much greater regularity than in non-AH.com works.
