In this section of our free web design course, we're first going to learn how to make our text bold by using the and tags, italicise it by using the and tags or underline it by using the and tags. Let's apply them all:

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>

My first web page

</body>
</html>

This should produce an output text formatted like this:

My first web page

Now let's make our text a bit more complicated by mixing these formats:

<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>

My first web page

</body>
</html>

Which would produce this output:

My first web page

So, you can make a text bold, italic and underline at the same time. Note that instead of the tag, you can use the tag; and instead of the tag you can also use the tag. They do the same job.
