Example: <b>This text is bold</b> The HTML <strong> element defines text with strong importance. The content inside is typically displayed in bold. Example: <strong>This text is important!</strong> HTML <i> and <em> Elements The HTML <i> element defines a part of text in an alternate voice or mood. The content inside is typically displayed in italic. TIP: The <i> tag is often used to indicate a technical term, a phrase from another language, a thought, a ship name, etc. Example: <i>This text is italic</i> yields: This text is italic The HTML <em> element defines emphasized text. The content inside is typically displayed in italic. TIP: A screen reader will pronounce the words in <em> with an emphasis, using verbal stress. Example: <em>This text is emphasized</em> yields: This text is emphasized HTML <small> Element The HTML <small> element defines smaller text. Example: <small>This is some smaller text.</small> yields: This is some smaller text. HTML <mark> Element The HTML <mark> element defines text that should be marked or highlighted. Example: <p>Do not forget to buy <mark>milk</mark> today.</p> yields: Do not forget to buy milk today. HTML <del> Element The HTML <del> element defines text that has been deleted from a document. Browsers will usually strike a line through deleted text. Example: <p>My favorite color is <del>blue</del> red.</p> yields: My favorite color is blue red. HTML <ins> Element The HTML <ins> element defines a text that has been inserted into a document. Browsers will usually underline inserted text. Example: <p>My favorite color is <del>blue</del> <ins>red</ins>.</p> yields: My favorite color is blue red HTML <sub> Element The HTML <sub> element defines subscript text. Subscript text appears half a character below the normal line, and is sometimes rendered in a smaller font. Subscript text can be used for chemical formulas, like H2O. Example: <p>This is <sub>subscripted</sub> text.</p> yields: This is subscripted text. HTML <sup> Element The HTML <sup> element defines superscript text. Superscript text appears half a character above the normal line, and is sometimes rendered in a smaller font. Superscript text can be used for footnotes, like WWW[1]. Example: <p>This is <sup>superscripted</sup> text.</p> yields: This is superscripted text. |
