Bold and Italics
Bold and Italic Text in XHTML: We can italicize and bold text in CSS by using the "font-style:italic" and "font-weight:bold" styles. Another method is to use the <em> ("emphasis") and <strong> tags. A third method is to use the <i> and <b> tags. These are often seen in older, existing web pages. Avoid using these, as the first two methods are now preferred.
