HTML - Tag

HTML  tag is used to highlight the text and specify the text in bold. The purpose of the tag or element is to draw attention to the contents of the element, which are not normally given special importance.

If we are writing content within a paragraph element but an important word comes in the content, we can use the  tag to highlight the important word.

<html>
   <body>
      <p>This is normal para</p>
      <p>
         <b>This is bold paragraph </b>
      </p>
   </body>
</html>

Using class attribute on tag

We can select the element by using tag selector but when we will have multiple same tag in that scenerion we need to use the HTML class attribute to select the element.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <style>
         .term {
            color: green;
            font-style: italic;
         }
      </style>
   </head>
   <body>

            (the study of the nature and properties of matter and energy).

      <h2>Using CSS properties to set the bold text. </h2>
      <p>
         This is normal text - <span style="font-weight:bold;">
         and this is bold text</span>.
