Inline Styles
Remember: Block-level
tags add a line break before and after the tag. Inline styles
affect how text appears without adding breaks or extra spaces.
Most of the tags you've learned so far have been block-level
elements. This means they cause a line break before and after the tag, such
as the <h1> tag or the <p> tag. Another
kind of tag is an inline-level element, which changes
how text appears without adding line breaks. The next sections describe two of
these types of tags.
The <em> tag

will appear as:

"em" in <em> stands for
emphasis and indicates the text inside this container tag should
be emphasized, or stressed, a lot like when you put an exclamation point
after a sentence. For example, in this sentence, the word sentence
is emphasized. Most browsers indicate emphasis by italicizing the text.
The <strong> tag
The <strong> tag is just like the <em> tag
only even more so. So if you really want to strongly emphasize
something, you would use the <strong> tag. Most browsers
indicate strong emphasis by bolding the text.
