Adding Style to Your HTML Document

HTML tags offer several text styles so that you can emphasize any text in your document. The following is a short list of the most often used tag styles :

You can also use combinations of styles (for example, bold and italics)

Style Element or Tag Result
Bold <B>I want this text bold</B> I want this text bold
Italics <I>I want this text italics</I> I want this text italics
Underlined <U>I want this underlined</U> I want this underlined
Mono spaced(typewriter) <TT>I want this text typed</TT> I want this text typed
You can add style to text that appears anywhere in the HTML document. Combinations of styles can also be used, provided you assign all the closing tags needed.

<I>Hockey</I> is <B>Life</B>.<P>

becomes a paragraph that looks like this:

Hockey is Life.

The style tags surround the words they affect, in conjunction with other tags such as headings.

Be careful how many style tags you use on one page. If you use too many, the text may become difficult to read.
