Text bold CSS in span and in div.
Website developers, when they want to draw attention to something, have a number of ways at hand to do this.
The most basic is to increase the font weight of the text you want to highlight.
This refers to making the text appear encouraged.
Below we show you an example of bolding a text inside an element such as div and span using internal CSS style.
In the example below I used: span{ font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; font-family: Arial; color: #006; } .container{ font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: 20px; font-weight: 800; color: #930; }
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<style>
span{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 16px;
font-family: Arial;
color: #006;
}
.container{
font-family: "Times New Roman";
font-size: 20px;
font-weight: 800;
color: #930;
}
</style>
</head><body>
<span>My text bold using <span> tag</span>
<div class="container">My text bold using <div> tag </div></body>
</html>
In HTML, there are three major ways you can use to bold text. You can use the <b> tag, the <strong> tag, or in CSS with the font-weight property.
