Text Layout

WML supplies a specific element for emphasising part of the text: <em>. As in HTML, just surround the text you want to highlight with the opening and closing tags.

<p>
Search <em>with WAP</em>.
</p>

The interpretation of the <em> may be different and depends on the browsers and mobile devices used. Certain models will display the corresponding text in bold, and others in italic.

If you are not satisfied with the various interpretations of this element, WML supports the use of the highlighting elements that already exist in HMTL for bold, italic and underlined text. You can use the following tags: <b>, <i>, <u>.

Example

<p>
Search <b>with WAP</b>.<br/>
Search <i>with WAP</i>.<br/>
Search <u>with WAP</u>.<br/>
</p>

This code will produce the following display:
