HTML Formatting Tags

HTML uses tags ("bold") and ("italic") to format the output text, such as bold or italic

These HTML tags are called formatting tags (please see the full tags reference manual at the bottom).

	Usually the tag <strong> is used instead of the bold tag <b>, and the <em> is used instead of the <i> tag. However, the meaning of these tags is different: <b> and <i> define bold or italic text. <strong> or <em> means that the text you want to present is important, so highlight it. All major browsers today can render fonts with various effects. However, future browsers may support better rendering effects.
