Although your answer has many solutions I think this is a great way to save lines of code  Try using spans which is great for situations like yours     Create a class for making any item bold  So for paragraph text it would be     span bold This name can be anything do not include parenthesis       font-weight  bold        In your html you can access that class like by using the span tags and adding a class of bold or whatever name you have chosen

I know this question is old but I ran across it and I know other people might have the same problem  All these answers are okay but do not give proper detail or actual TRUE advice   When wanting to style a specific section of a paragraph use the span tag    lt p gt  lt span style  font-weight 900  gt Andy Warhol lt  span gt   August 6  1928 - February 22  1987    was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop   art  lt  p gt    Andy Warhol  August 6  1928 - February 22  1987  was an American artist who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art   As the code shows  the span tag styles on the specified words   Andy Warhol   You can further style a word using any CSS font styling codes    font-weight  font-size  text-decoration  font-family  margin  color   etc     Any of these and more can be used to style a word  group of words  or even specified paragraphs without having to add a class to the CSS Style Sheet Doc  I hope this helps someone

if you want to just  bold   Mike Hofer s answer is mostly correct   but notice that the  tag bolds its contents by default  but you can change this behavior using css  example   p strong       font-weight  normal      font-style  italic      Now your  bold  is italic     So  try to use tags by its meaning  not by its default style
