Answer 1

use <strong> or <b> tag

also, you can try with css <span style="font-weight:bold">text</span>

Answer 2

HTML doesn't have a <bold> tag, instead you would have to use <b>. Note however, that using <b> is discouraged in favor of CSS for a while now. You would be better off using CSS to achieve that.

The <strong> tag is a semantic element for strong emphasis which defaults to bold.

Answer 3

You're nearly there!

For a bold text, you should have this: <b> bold text</b> or <strong>bold text</strong> They have the same result.

Answer 4

It’s just <b> instead of <bold>:

Some <b>text</b> that I want bolded.

Note that <b> just changes the appearance of the text. If you want to render it bold because you want to express a strong emphasis, you should better use the <strong> element.
