HTML defines a lot of elements for formatting output, like bold or italic text.
Have you ever seen a Web page source and wondered "How do they do that?"
To find out, simply click on the VIEW option in your browsers toolbar and select SOURCE or PAGE SOURCE. This will open a window that shows you the actual HTML of the page.
