Help:Wiki University HTML-- Font Bold-Italics

Bold words
For a word to appear in bold text, you apply the "font-weight:bold" attribute:   Lorem  ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. It will look like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Bold sentences
The same method is used for sentences in paragraphs.   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. It will look like this: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

An alternate method to made text bold is to flank the word or words with "strong" tags like so:  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Here is the contrast between HTML and Wikitext

Italicized words
For a word to appear in italicized text, you use the "font-style:italic" attribute   Lorem  ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. It will look like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

Italicized sentences
The same method is used for sentences or paragraphs. Place two apostrophes on either end of the sentence or paragraph:   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. It will look like this: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

An alternate method to made text bold is to flank the word or words with "em" tags like so:  Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

If you are wondering if you can use both the strong and em tags together, the answer is no. The code will not work if you combine the two tags like so: You have to use "font-family" and"font-weight" to have bold italic text in HTML.   Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
