As more and more elements are added to HTML code, minor changes may be required to format those elements. There is a range of formatting tags, which amplify text elements. These tags can add various effects to the plain text, making it bold, italic, underline it etc.

*Important note: it is recommended not to overload the text with HTML formatting tags. They should better be used separately; italicizing and bold font for the same word will be unnecessary exaggeration. To apply formatting to a block of text, CCS (or Cascading Style Sheets) should be used.

Styles can be introduced to HTML elements in a direct way, by means of the style attribute, or indirectly with the help of CSS.
