HTML TEXT FORMATTING

Generally we need to give extra attention to some specific word or any sentence.

HTML text formatting is the process by which we do that. We use some special tags to format the contents wrapped in between the tags.

HTML text formatting is categorised in two ways:

1. Physical tag: physical tags are used to give just some visual appearance to the text.
   Example: <b> tag,<i> tag,<u> tag etc.

2. Logical tag: logical tags give some semantic meaning(used by search engines): and visual appearance.
   Example :<strong> tag,<em> tag etc.

HTML text formatting tags are following:

1).Bold in HTML

HTML has <b> and <strong> tags for formatting texts bold.

<b> tag is a physical tag used to make text bold.<b> tag has no logical meaning.

<p>This paragraph has this part <b>bold</b></p>

Output:

<strong> tag is a logical tag used to make text bold and has logical meaning.This tag is used for giving logical importance to the browser.

<p>This paragraph has this part <strong>strong</strong></p>

Output:

2).HTML italic

HTML has <i> and <em> tags for formatting text italic.

<i> tag is physical tag used to make enclosed content italic.<i> tag has no logical meaning.

<p>This paragraph has this part <i>italic</i></p>

Output:

<em> tag is logical tag used to make enclosed content italic and has logical meaning.It adds semantics importance to the content

<p>This paragraph has this part <em>italic and is important content</em></p>
