Bold, Italic, Underline, and More in HTML

HTML provides tags to style text in simple ways such as bolding, italicizing, and underlining. These tags help emphasize or distinguish parts of your content.

Bold Text

Use the <b> or <strong> tag to make text bold. <strong> also adds semantic importance.


<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>
<p>This is <strong>important</strong> text.</p>
            

Italic Text

Italic text is used for emphasis or citation. Use <i> or <em> tags.


<p>This is <i>italic</i> text.</p>
<p>This is <em>emphasized</em> text.</p>
            

Underlined Text

The <u> tag is used for underlining, though it's not commonly used for emphasis in modern HTML.


<p>This is <u>underlined</u> text.</p>
            

Combining Styles

You can combine these tags to apply multiple styles to the same piece of text.


<p><strong><em>Bold and Italic</em></strong></p>
            

Conclusion

Bold, italic, and underline are basic text styles you can apply with HTML tags. Use them appropriately to enhance readability and meaning.
