HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language

Part 3: Bold and Italics

  1. From Part 3. Your code so far from Part 2 should look like the following:


  2. BOLD
    Text can be accented in many different ways. The first of these is BOLD.
    Bold is symbolized by a <b> in front of the text you want bold, and a </b> at the end of the area you want bold. Inserting text into your file that is surrounded by the bold tag will accentuate the text. This text is bold. This text is normal.
     
  3. ITALICS
    Text can be made to stand out by using ITALICS. This causes the text to slant. The tag is a simple <i> in front of hte text that you want italicized and a </i> at the end of the text you want italicized. 
    This text is in italics. This text is not.
     
  4. UNDERLINE
    Text can also be made to stand out by using the UNDERLINING text. The tag for this is <u> </u> and is used similar to the bold and italics. Many web designers do not use this tag often since the underline is perceived on the web as a hyperlink.
    This text is underlined. This text is not.
    Often 2 or three of these are used together.
     
  5. USING EFFECTS
    Let's insert these into our html
    Notice where I put the <i> and <b>
    This code should appear like this:

    My very first html page

    Welcome to my html page
