HTML Formatting Elements
In the previous chapter, you learned about the HTML style attribute.
HTML also defines special elements for defining text with a special
meaning.
HTML uses elements like <b> and <i> for formatting output, like bold
or italic text.
The HTML <b> element defines bold text, without any extra
importance.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This text is normal.</p>
<p><b>This text is bold.</b></p>
</body>
</html>
The HTML <strong> element defines strong text, with added semantic
"strong" importance.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This text is normal.</p>
<p><strong>This text is strong.</strong></p>
</body>
</html>
HTML <i> and <em> Elements
The HTML <i> element defines italic text, without any extra
importance.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This text is normal.</p>
<p><i>This text is italic.</i></p>
</body>
</html>
The HTML <em> element defines emphasized text, with added semantic
importance.
Example
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<p>This text is normal.</p>
<p><em>This text is emphasized.</em></p>
