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.



Formatting elements were designed to display special types of text:




  • <b> - Bold text


  • <strong> - Important text


  • <i> - Italic text


  • <em> - Emphasized text


  • <mark> - Marked text


  • <small> - Small text


  • <del> - Deleted text


  • <ins> - Inserted text


  • <sub> - Subscript text


  • <sup> - Superscript text




HTML <b> and <strong> Elements

without any extra importance.
