HTML Formatting

HTML Text Formatting

HTML has a number of elements for defining text with a specific meaning.

HTML Formatting Elements

Formatting components were created to display different sorts of text:

<b> Bold text

The HTML b> element defines bold text without any additional significance.

for example 

<b>This is a bold text</b>

<strong> - Important text

The HTML strong> element denotes text that is of high importance. The text is usually presented in bold.

<em> Emphasized text

The HTML <em> element specifies highlighted text. Italics are commonly used to highlight the information inside. A screen reader will emphasize the words in <em> by employing verbal stress.

for example

<strong>This sentence is very strong</strong>

<i> Italic text

The HTML I element specifies a section of text in a different voice or mood. Italics are commonly used to highlight the information inside. The <I > tag is frequently used to represent a technical word, a phrase from another language, an idea, the name of a ship, and so on.

for example

<i>This sentence is italic format </i>

<mark> Marked text

The HTML <mark> element specifies the text to be marked or highlighted:

for example

<p>Please do get back the <mark>book</mark> today positively.</p>

<small> Smaller text

Smaller text is defined using the HTML <small> element:

for example

<small>Smaller text</small>

<del> Deleted text

HTML <del> Element

The HTML <del> element represents text that has been removed from a document. In most cases, browsers will punch a line across the removed text:

for example

<p>I love <del>Maria</del> Lulia.</p>

<ins> Inserted text

Element <ins> HTML

The HTML ins> element specifies the text that has been added to a document. In most cases, browsers will highlight added text:

for example

<p>My favorite play is <del>Badminton</del> <ins>Football</ins>.</p>

<sub> Subscript text

Subscript text is defined using the HTML <sub> element. Subscript text is shown half a character below the usual line and is occasionally displayed in a smaller font. Chemical formulae, such as H2O, can benefit from the subscript text.

for example

<p>H₂O.</p>

Result : H2O

<sup> Superscript text

HTML Element <sup>

Superscript text is defined using the HTML <sup> element. Superscript text is half a character above the usual line and is often shown in a smaller font. Footnotes can be written in superscript text, as WWW[1]:

for example

<p>WWW^[1] text.</p>

Result : WWW[1]
