## Font style elements

These all require start and end tags, e.g.

      This has some <B>bold text</B>.

Text level elements must be properly nested - the following is in error:

      This has some <B>bold and <I></B>italic text</I>.

User agents should do their best to respect nested emphasis, e.g.

      This has some <B>bold and <I>italic text</I></B>.

Where the available fonts are restricted or for speech output, alternative means should be used for rendering differences in emphasis.

TT teletype or monospaced text
I italic text style
B bold text style
U underlined text style
S or STRIKE strike-through text style
BIG places text in a large font
SMALL places text in a small font
SUB places text in subscript style
SUP places text in superscript style

Note: future revisions to HTML may be phase out STRIKE in favor of the more concise "S" tag from HTML 3.0.
