A bolded text has a slightly higher weight than a normal text. Therefore, It is mostly used when we want to capture the user’s attention to a certain important part of the text.
To make a text bolded in CSS, we use the font-weight property. The font-weight property sets how the bolded text should appear on the visitors’ screen.
The font weight can be specified either as a numeric value such as 100, 200, 300, etc. or as a keyword such as normal, bold, bolder, etc. We mostly use font-weight: bold; to make the text bolded.
See the following working example:
Example:
.bolded{
font-weight: bold;
}
You could also use numeric values to make the text bolded.
400 is same as normal and 700 is same as bold.
See this example:
Example:
.bolded{
font-weight: 700;
}
Make Text Bolded Using HTML
If you don’t want to write any external CSS to make the text bolded, you can alternatively use HTML’s <b> and <strong> tags.
The <b> and <strong> tags both are inline elements, which means you can make any part of the text bolded just like the font-weight: bold;.
See this example:
Example:
<p>Some part of <b>this text is bolded.</b></p> <p>Some part of <strong>this text is also bolded.</strong></p>
