The bold()
method of String values creates a string that embeds this string in a
element (<b>str</b>
), which causes this string to be displayed as bold.
Note: All HTML wrapper methods are deprecated and only standardized for compatibility purposes. Use DOM APIs such as
document.createElement()
instead.
Syntax
bold()
Parameters
None.
Return value
A string beginning with a <b>
start tag, then the text str
, and then a </b>
end tag.
Examples
Using bold()
The code below creates an HTML string and then replaces the document's body with it:
const contentString = "Hello, world";
document.body.innerHTML = contentString.bold();
This will create the following HTML:
<b>Hello, world</b>
Instead of using bold()
and creating HTML text directly, you should use DOM APIs such as document.createElement()
. For example:
const contentString = "Hello, world";
const elem = document.createElement("b");
elem.innerText = contentString;
document.body.appendChild(elem);
