How to Write HTML to Bold Text

HTML conveys formatted text on the Internet.

Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) is a basic web design programming language that can be written with more common and accessible computer programs, such as Word, TextEdit and Notepad, which are then uploaded into a web browser. HTML commands signify the beginning and end of an action with tags that bookend the text, and the tags manipulate the text with different fonts and formats when viewed on the Internet. Presenting text in a bold font is one of the many ways that HTML can format text.

Instructions

1. Type "<b>" before the text that you want to make bold.

2. Type the text in the way that you want it seen online. If you want the text to read "Hello You!," then type "Hello You!" If you want the text in all lower case letters, then type it in all lower case.

3. Type "</b>" at the end of the text. The text will now appear in bold online.
