  3. Open up the phrase you want bold and italicized with the <b> tag.
  6. It's often times better to type the closing tag for the tag that lies inside before and work outwards, to make it easier on the eyes for a coder to recognize what style you are trying to perform.

    What type of language is HTML?
    Community Answer
    HTML, an abbreviation of the HyperText Markup Language, is its own programming language. Web browsers are capable of reading HTML, from both files in a computer and from a web server, and use the information within the code to display text, images, etc.

    HTML doesn't have the option to write bold, because that is not how Java works. You cannot, but even if you could, it would not change the URL you go to later.
