How can I use multiple declarations (\textbf, \emph) in listings' emphstyle?

Question

How do I provide multiple emphstyles with the listings package?

\begin{lstlisting}[emph={if,for},emphstyle={\textbf\emph}]
if something
end if
\end{lstlisting}

Both styles above (\emph and \textbf} don't get applied. If I use only one style, it works.

Welcome to TeX.sx! A tip: If you indent lines by 4 spaces, they'll be marked as a code sample. You can use backticks ``` to mark your inline code. You can also highlight the code and click the "code" button (with "{}" on it). — Torbjørn T., Nov 20 '11 at 00:44

I guess you want it to be italic and boldshape. By using \itshape and \bfseries instead it works.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{listings}
\begin{document}
\begin{lstlisting}[emph={if,for},emphstyle={\bfseries\itshape}]
if something
end if
\end{lstlisting}
\end{document}

Thanks. I wonder from where they expect you to learn that. – Salil Nov 20 '11 at 00:48
@Salil: Experience :) Perhaps this is a start: Is there a difference between \textit and \itshape? The motivation here is that \textbf, \textit and \textsf are local macros that take arguments, while \bfseries, \itshape and \sffamily are switches. – Werner Nov 20 '11 at 01:44
