Text formatting tags

HTML provides several text formatting tags that allow you to add emphasis, underline, or strikethrough text as needed.

The <strong> and <em> tags are used to emphasize text. The <strong> tag renders text in bold, indicating strong importance, while the <em> tag renders text in italics, indicating emphasis.

The <u> tag underlines text to provide visual clarity and highlight important information. However, use underlining sparingly to avoid cluttering the text.

The <s> tag strikes through text, indicating deletion or irrelevance. It is commonly used to show that certain text has been removed or is no longer valid.
Example:
