  2. Bold and Italics in XHTML Strictly speaking, there are three different ways to bold or italicize text in XHTML: • Via CSS, using the "font-weight:bold" and"font-style:italic" styles. • By using the <strong> and <em> ("emphasis") elements. • By using the <b> ("bold") and <i> ("italics") elements. Do not use <b> or <i> in your XHTML documents. These are older elements that have been redefined in the newer HTML5 specification. They are mentioned here so that you will recognize them in older web pages.

  3. The <strong> and <em> Elements <p>Normal text</p> <p><strong>Text in Bold</strong></p> <p><em>Text in Italics</em></p> <p><strong><em>Text in Bold and Italics</em></strong></p> <strong> is generally used only when the enclosed text has a special meaning and should stand out on the page. One example would be a technical keyword. <em> is generally used only when the enclosed text has a special, emphasized meaning that would be spoken with a different voice inflection. We will use only CSS to bold and italicize text in this course. We won't see <strong> or <em> any further.
