HTML Tags for Text Formatting

In HTML, a number of elements are used to format text. The formatting tags are divided into two groups: physical tags, that are used to style the text (visual appearance of the text) and logical or semantic tags that add semantic value to the text parts (e. g., inform search engines for which keywords a web page should be ranked).

Let’s dive deeper and talk about formatting tags in details.
