HTML \u2013 HyperText Markup Language \u2013 is one of the languages of Web pages, and uses commands that are between a less-than sign and a greater-than sign. For example, if you type:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong><\/strong>&lt;B&gt;Something that you want to emphasize &lt;\/B&gt;<\/p>\n<p>You will see:<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>Something that you want to emphasize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This also works for italics, with &lt;i&gt; and &lt;\/i&gt;, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>You can link to Web sites in your comments, too; for example, the command<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">&lt;A HREF=&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com&#8221;&gt;Pray\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/praytellblog.com&#8221;&gt;Pray<\/a> Tell &lt;\/A&gt;<\/p>\n<p>will provide a link to<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\">Pray Tell.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em><br \/>\n(A reminder that <\/em>Pray Tell <em>does not endorse any external links and is not responsible for any actions that result from following a commenter\u2019s link.
