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
The HTML < b > element defines bold text, without any extra importance.
The HTML < strong > element defines strong text, with added semantic "strong" importance.
