Text Features
By Stephen Bucaro
There is a series of html tags that you can use to configure features of your text like
boldness, italics, strike though, underline, and more.
Bold Text
To make text bold in html, simply place the <b> tag before and the </b>
after any text you want to appear bold. Shown below is an example of use of the html
bold text tag.
<p>This text is normal <b>this text is bold</b> this text is normal.</p>
This text is normal this text is bold this text is normal.
The <strong> tag does exactly the same thing. Because the specification for
the strong tag is not exact, I would not recommend its use.
Italic Text
To make text italic in html, simply place the <i> tag before and the </i>
after any text you want to appear italic. Shown below is an example of use of the html
italic text tag.
<p>This text is normal <i>this text is italic</i> this text is normal.</p>
This text is normal this text is italic this text is normal.
The <em> tag does exactly the same thing. Because the specification for the em
ag is not exact, I would not recommend its use.
Strike Through Text
To put a line through text in html, simply place the <strike> tag before and
the </strike> after any text you want a line through. Shown below is an example
of use of the html strike text tag.
<p>This text is normal <strike>this text is struck out</strike> this text is normal.</p>
This text is normal this text is struck out this text is normal
The <del> tag does exactly the same thing. Because the specification for the del
tag is not exact, I would not recommend its use.
Subscript Text
A subscript is a number, letter, or symbol written directly next to and
slightly below a word or phrase that can be used to reference the word or phrase to
a footnote. A subscript is also used in chemistry to indicate the number of atoms
of an element in a molecule. To create a subscript, use the <sub></sub>
tag, as shown below.
<p>The chemical formula for water is H<sub>2</sub>O, and the formula
for Hydrogen Peroxide is H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>.</p>
The chemical formula for water is H2O, and the formula for Hydrogen
Peroxide is H2O2.
Superscript Text
A superscript is a number, letter, or symbol written directly next to and
slightly above a a number, letter, or symbol. A superscript is frequently used in
mathematics to indicate and exponent. To create a superscript, use the
<sup></sup> tag, as shown below.
<p>Mass and energy are related as defined by Einstein's formula E=mC<sup>2</sup>,
where energy (E) is equal to the mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared.</p>
Mass and energy are related as defined by Einstein's formula E=mC2,
where energy (E) is equal to the mass (m) multiplied by the speed of light (C) squared.
