Sometimes you want to bold a text or write italic text. Codes should be displayed differently from ordinary texts. You can use formatting elements.

All elements are inline elements. So you can use them inside the <p> tag or other elements without any problem. Let's try them out.

Bold text & Strong text

You can bold a text with the <b> tag.

If you want to write important text, use the <strong> tag.

Italic text vs Emphasized text

We write italic text when we quote something from a different source. You can write italic texts with the <i> tag.

We use the <em> tag to write emphasized texts. Emphasized texts are also displayed in italic. However, you should use these elements according to their semantic meanings.

Subscripts and Superscripts

We need subscripts and superscripts, especially when we do academic writing. You can add subscript texts with a <sub> tag and superscript text with a <sup> tag.

More formattings

There are a few other formattings that you will need occasionally.

You can use the <small> tag to display smaller text.

You can use the <mark> tag to display a marked text.

Also, you can use the <code> tag to display codes.
