The bold and italic tags are used to make text appear in different typefaces.
Here is an example of what happens when you use them alone and when they are nested:
<p>This text is <b>bold</b>.</p> <p>This is in <i>italics</i>.</p> <p>This has <b>bold text containing <i>italic</i> text</b>.</p> <p>This has <i>italic text containing <b>bold</b> text</i>.</p>

Thread hijack, for more of Arik's complaints... I'll try the preformatted poem in the different posting modes in order...
First, POT:
(just did a pre, like that's gonna work in POT) (just did a br, ditto) There once was a whingey old winer \ Who had a great crush on Brent Spiner Unlike Bobba Fett \ Bots made him all wet
So he needed a fresh panty liner

That makes no sense - why is the leading space at the start of the final line preserved, but the middle spaces to line up the backslashes not preserved? Either the user is allowed to align things, or he isn't, not both at the same time.

Still POT:
{ecode there, now br}<br> There once was a whingey old winer \ Who had a great crush on Brent Spiner Unlike Bobba Fett \ Bots made him all wet So he needed a fresh panty liner
So ecode does what he wants, apart from the block-quote aspect of it.

next HTML formatted {br}
(just did a pre, which should work in html, and here's a br:)
There once was a whingey old winer \ Who had a great crush on Brent Spiner
Unlike Bobba Fett \ Bots made him all wet
So he needed a fresh panty liner
Why {pre} no worky?
this is aligned on the LHS of the page.
that was a blank line before this one.
There are 5 spaces on the LHS of this sentence.
Word five spaces later.
Two skipped lines and now this sentence.
something something
^^^ End of pre phrase

There once was an admin called Marty \ Whose preference for music was arty "Maybe it's just me \ but I like jazz that is free
And brass sections that sound all farty

The bold tag is used to make text appear in a heavier typeface.
