What is the difference between font weight and font style?
Font weight refers to how bold (or not bold) a font is. Font style refers to different faces that might exist within a given family.
What is the font weight of B?
Meaning of relative weights Note that when using relative weights, only four font weights are considered — thin (100), normal (400), bold (700), and heavy (900).
What is the use of bold or B?
The HTML element is used to draw the reader’s attention to the element’s contents, which are not otherwise granted special importance. This was formerly known as the Boldface element, and most browsers still draw the text in boldface.
What is the difference between B and strong?
The difference between these tags is that makes the text look bold only visually, whereas the tag also gives a semantic emphasize indicating a meaningful word or a text section.
What are font weights?
Font-weight defines the thinness or thickness of a font. The ranges are 100 to 900. Normal font is 400. 700 is bold. So 900 would be an “extra bold” and a 100 would be an “extra light”.
What is font-weight in HTML?
The font-weight property sets how thick or thin characters in text should be displayed. Default value: normal.
What does text become when the B tag is used?
The HTML tag is used to create a ‘b’ element, which represents bold text in an HTML document. The tag should be used to markup text as bold without conveying any extra importance, for example in article abstracts, where the beginning of an article is set in bold text. To emphasize text, use the tag.
What is the use of I tag and B tag?
The HTML5 specification redefines b and i elements to have some semantic function, rather than being purely presentational. However, the simple fact that the tag names are ‘b’ for bold and ‘i’ for italic means that people are likely to continue using them as a quick presentational fix.
What is the difference between bold tag and strong tag?
The main difference between these two tag is that the strong tag semantically emphasizes on the important word or section of words while the bold tag is just offset text conventionally styled in bold.
What is the weight of bold and normal font?
For bold, the specified weight is “bold”, the computed weight is “700” and the rendered weight depends on the font, and the only guarantee is that it won’t be lighter than elements with lower computed weights. (i.e. Since “normal” equates to “400”, “bold” will never be rendered lighter than “normal” is (though it could be rendered identically.)
Does font-weight have to be the same for every font?
Since typefaces typically only natively support normal and bold weights, this often means that font-weight:bold and font-weight:bolder get rendered identically even if they have different computed weights. But it doesn’t have to be the case, even if the font only supports those two weights.
What are boldbolder and lighter font weights?
bolder is a relative font weight: The ‘bolder’ and ‘lighter’ values select font weights that are relative to the weight inherited from the parent. bolder and lighterare even part of the official spec. How they are interpreted and displayed is up to the browser.
