Formatting Text in HTML
In this lesson, we’ll explore HTML tags used to format text. These tags include <b>, <i>, <u>, <br>, and <hr>.
1. <b>: Bold Text
The <b> tag is used to make text bold. Example:
<p>This is <b>bold</b> text.</p>
Output: This is bold text.
2. <i>: Italic Text
The <i> tag is used to italicize text. Example:
<p>This is <i>italic</i> text.</p>
Output: This is italic text.
3. <u>: Underlined Text
The <u> tag is used to underline text. Example:
<p>This is <u>underlined</u> text.</p>
Output: This is underlined text.
4. <br>: Line Break
The <br> tag is used to insert a line break, allowing content to move to the next line. Example:
<p>This is line one.<br>This is line two.</p>
Output:
This is line one.
This is line two.
5. <hr>: Horizontal Rule
The <hr> tag creates a horizontal line, which is often used to separate sections. Example:
<p>Text above the line.</p> <hr> <p>Text below the line.</p>
Output:
Text above the line.
Text below the line.
Practical Example
Here’s a practical example combining these tags:
<p>This is <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>, and <u>underlined</u> text.</p> <p>Line one.<br>Line two.</p> <hr> <p>End of the section.</p>
Output:
This is bold, italic, and underlined text.
Line one.
Line two.
End of the section.
