Styling Text

HTML offers several tags to style and emphasize text:

<strong>Important text</strong>
<em>Emphasized text</em>
<b>Bold text</b>
<i>Italic text</i>
<u>Underlined text</u>
<s>Strikethrough text</s>

Important text | Emphasized text | Bold text | Italic text | Underlined text | Strikethrough text

<strong> and <em> carry semantic meaning (importance and emphasis). ❌ <b> and <i> are purely visual (bold/italic without meaning).
