In the [last article](https://thecodingexpress.blogspot.in/2017/12/wsd6-style-your-document.html) we learned:  

- HTML \<pre\> tag preformatted text
- HTML style attribute with various properties for background color, text color, font, text size and alignment of text
Now let's see some more tags which you can use to enhance your content in HTML.

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;b&gt; and &lt;strong&gt; tags </span></u>

**\<b\>** tag defines **bold** text without any extra importance while **\<strong\>** tag defines strong text with added meaning of " **importance**". The visulal output of both tags will be exactly same, but special importance will be given where **\<strong\>** tag is used when the text is converted in audio by browser for text-to-speech conversion.<script async src="//jsfiddle.net/TheCodingExpress/j9001vjz/embed/html,result/dark/"></script>

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;i&gt; and &lt;em&gt; tags</span></u>

**\<i\>** tag defines _italic_ text without any extra importance while **\<em\>** tag defines _emphasized_ with added meaning of "importance". Just like above case of **\<b\>** and **\<strong\>** tags, no visual difference will be in output.&nbsp;<script async src="//jsfiddle.net/TheCodingExpress/fxf3zx5r/1/embed/html,result/dark/"></script>

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;small&gt; tag</span></u>

In many cases, you just want smaller text but do not want to use any specific text size. At such times you can use **\<small\>** tag. It defines smaller text in HTML.&nbsp;<script async src="//jsfiddle.net/TheCodingExpress/mu7a1ug6/embed/html,result/dark/"></script>

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;mark&gt; tag</span></u>

It is used for purpose of highlighting or marking particular text.<script async src="//jsfiddle.net/TheCodingExpress/45gsy4Ly/embed/html,result/dark/"></script>

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;del&gt; tag</span></u>

It is used for showing text with ~~strikethrough~~ i.e ~~deleted~~ text.<script async src="//jsfiddle.net/TheCodingExpress/chrpeopn/embed/html,result/dark/"></script>

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;ins&gt; tag</span></u>

It is used for showing newly <u>inserted</u> text.<script async src="//jsfiddle.net/TheCodingExpress/awmwnr1a/embed/html,result/dark/"></script>

### <u><span style='font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;'>HTML &lt;sub&gt; and &lt;sup&gt; tags</span></u>

This tags are highly useful for writing scientific information or formulas. **\<sub\>** tag is used to write subscripted text while **\<sup\>** is used to write superscripted text.
