HTML Style Tags
For boldface text, put the <B> tag at the beginning of the text and </B> at the end. Similarly, you can make any text italic by enclosing it between <I> and </I>.

If you want bold italics, put <B><I> in front of the text and </I></B> after it. You can also use italics within headings, but boldface usually won't show in headings because they are already bold.
Use the typewriter <TT> tag to indicate a special word and </TT> after it.
