HTML Text Basics
HTML text formatting
Emphasis is an important aspect of web design and HTML provides us with several elements to add emphasis to text.
By using the <em>, <strong>, <mark>, and <small> elements, we can add meaning to our text and make it stand out to users:
- The
<em>tag is used to add emphasis to text, usually in the form of italic text. - The
<strong>tag is used to indicate that the text within it should be given strong emphasis. - The
<mark>element is used to highlight text, making it stand out from the surrounding text. - The
<small>tag is another HTML emphasis tag that can be used to indicate that the text within it should be displayed in a smaller font size than the surrounding text.
