Bold, italic and line breaks

Make words stand out

• <strong> makes text bold — for important words.
• <em> makes text italic — for a gentle emphasis.
• Wrap only the word you want: very <strong>important</strong> news.

<p>This cake is <strong>delicious</strong> and still <em>warm</em>.</p>

Line breaks

• Sometimes you want a new line inside one paragraph.
• Use <br> — a single tag with no closing tag and nothing inside it.
• It is like pressing Enter once.

<p>Roses are red<br>Violets are blue</p>

Common mistakes

• <br> makes a line break and has no closing tag.
• Use <strong> and <em> for meaning, not just bold or italic looks.

Now you try

• Wrap a word to make it bold, and add a line break.
• Press ▶ after each change to see what happens.
