To define bold text in a CSS rule:Type the property name font-weight, followed by a colon (:).
Yup, h1{ font-weight: bold; } Works! but font-weight with values 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800 to 900 doesn't work (probably anymore, it it used to) for heading tags.
Type the keyboard shortcut: CTRL+B.
To make text bold in HTML, use the <b>… </b> tag or <strong>… </strong> tag. Both the tags have the same functioning, but <strong> tag adds semantic strong importance to the text.
You can use the CSS declaration font-weight: bold;.
I would advise you to read the CSS beginner guide at http://htmldog.com/guides/cssbeginner/ .
You can use the strong element in html, which is great semantically (also good for screen readers etc.), which typically renders as bold text:
See here, some <strong>emphasized text</strong>.Or you can use the font-weight css property to style any element's text as bold:
span { font-weight: bold; }<p>This is a paragraph of <span>bold text</span>.</p>You'd use font-weight: bold.
Do you want to make the entire document bold? Or just parts of it?
Sine you are new to html here are three ready to use examples on how to use CSS together with html. You can simply put them into a file, save it and open it up with the browser of your choice:
This one directly embeds your CSS style into your tags/elements. Generally this is not a very nice approach, because you should always separate the content/html from design.
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Hi, I'm bold!</title>
</head>
<body>
<p style="font-weight:bold;">Hi, I'm very bold!</p>
</body>
</html>
The next one is a more general approach and works on all "p" (stands for paragraph) tags in your document and additionaly makes them HUGE. Btw. Google uses this approach on his search:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Hi, I'm bold!</title>
<style type="text/css">
p {
font-weight:bold;
font-size:26px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hi, I'm very bold and HUGE!</p>
</body>
</html>
You probably will take a couple of days playing around with the first examples, however here is the last one. In this you finally fully seperate design (css) and content (html) from each other in two different files. stackoverflow takes this approach.
In one file you put all the CSS (call it 'hello_world.css'):
p {
font-weight:bold;
font-size:26px;
}
In another file you should put the html (call it 'hello_world.html'):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="de">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Hi, I'm bold!</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="hello_world.css" />
</head>
<body>
<p>Hi, I'm very bold and HUGE!</p>
</body>
</html>
Hope this helps a little. To address specific elements in your document and not all tags you should make yourself familiar with the class, id and name attributes. Have fun!
Use the CSS font-weight property
Selector name{
font-weight:bold;
}
Suppose you want to make bold for p element
p{
font-weight:bold;
}
You can use other alternative value instead of bold like
p{
font-weight:bolder;
font-weight:600;
}
