Formatting Text

You'll often want to format, or change the style of text to add emphasis to part of a Web page. Boldface, italics, underlines, and other text effects are toggle switches, which means you simply click to turn them on and off. For special emphasis, you can apply multiple formats, such as bold and italics. You can also change the font typeface and size. Using one font typeface for headings and another for main text adds a professional look to your Web page.
