Doing it with Style

Entering Styled Text in Your HTML Document

Follow these steps to apply style tags to your HTML document.

1. Re-open your workspace (if not already opened).
2. Return to your HTML document, volc.html, in the text editor.
3. Find the word "volcano" in the first sentence of the Introduction. We are going to make this bold to highlight an important word.
4. Insert the tags to make this word appear as bold text:

            <b>volcano</b>
   

5. Now we will modify the second paragraph with the bold and italic tags to emphasize a word. Enter <b>...</b> and <i>...</i> tags around the word billion so this section looks like:

             <p>
             Volcanoes have been a part of earth's history long 
             before humans. Compare the history of human beings, 
             a few million years in the making, to that of the Earth, 
             over four <b><i>billion</i></b> years in the making.
   

6. Finally, we will use the typewriter, tag to indicate a special word. Under the Volcano Terminology heading, enter the following:

             The study of volcanoes, or <tt>Volcanology</tt>,
             includes many odd terms.
