HTML Formatting Elements
In the previous chapter, you learned about the
HTML style attribute.
HTML also defines special elements for defining text with
a special meaning.
HTML uses elements like <b> and <i> for formatting
output, like bold or italic text.
Formatting elements were
designed to display special types
of text: •<b> - Bold text
•<strong> - Important text
•<i> - Italic text
•<em> - Emphasized text
•<mark> - Marked text
•<small> - Small text
•<del> - Deleted text
•<ins> - Inserted text
•<sub> - Subscript text
•<sup> - Superscript text
