To bolden, the b is in between the carats.
Correction; not carats (^), but rather less than and greater than < > symbols. HTML markup, that is the portion of the text which is not actually text but rather dictates how the text appears is always bracketed by <>. This markup in turn brackets the actual text which it marks up as follows:
<>afgsdfgsfgs< /i >
(In actuality, spaces are not embedded in the markup. I just did it that way for illustrative purposes. Otherwise, you'd just se the effect of the markup, and not the markup itself.)
In the following example the <> notation begins the markup block and the < /x > notation closes it. If you combine markup directives, nest them, do not overlap them.
Good: < x > < y >aasdfasdfa < /y > < /x >
Bad: < x > < y >aasdfasdfa < /x > < /y >
< i >Italics< /i >
< b >Bold< /b >
< b >< i >Bold Italics< /i >< /b >
Italics
Bold
Bold Italics
All you ever wanted to know about markup, but were afraid to ask!
