text-based browsers, such as lynx and those associated with
wireless devices, can’t render bold, italic, or other styled text. They
generally highlight the text in some way, but the method varies depending on
the browser and platform.
You can nest character tags-for example, using both bold and
italic for a set of characters-as follows:
<b><i>text that is both bold and
italic</i></b>
However, the result on the screen is browser-dependent, like
all HTML tags. You weren’t necessarily end up with text that’s both bold and
italic. You mi9ght end up with one style or the other:
