CSS: Font weight
In the HTML course, the tag <b> had the same role as the font-weight property in CSS, namely, of course, to control the font weight. The property is more flexible than the standard styles of the <b> tag, as you can not only make it thicker, but also thinner.
There are two particularly common values for the font-weight property:
bold— thicker font. The text will look the same way as if you use the<strong>or<b>tag.normalis the default value. This is useful if the entire text has a non-standard font-weight, but a section needs to have a standard weight
<p class="bold">Text with bold typeface</p>
.bold {
font-weight: bold;
}
Text with bold typeface
But these are not all the values a property can take. In addition to the bold and normal descriptions, there are also numeric ones:
100200300400- corresponds to the value ofnormal500600700- corresponds to the value ofbold800900
Although there are many numerical values, here it all depends on the typefaces of the font, and more precisely on whether it has characters for each type of font weight. Most fonts support only normal and bold values and if specified otherwise, the browser will choose which weight to substitute. More often than not, all values above 500 will be interpreted as bold
Instructions
Add a paragraph to the editor with the class set to weight and set the weight set to bold. Add styles to the <style> tag
The exercise doesn't pass checking. What to do? 😶
If you've reached a deadlock it's time to ask your question in the «Discussions». How ask a question correctly:
- Be sure to attach the test output, without it it's almost impossible to figure out what went wrong, even if you show your code. It's complicated for developers to execute code in their heads, but having a mistake before their eyes most probably will be helpful.
In my environment the code works, but not here 🤨
Tests are designed so that they test the solution in different ways and against different data. Often the solution works with one kind of input data but doesn't work with others. Check the «Tests» tab to figure this out, you can find hints at the error output.
My code is different from the teacher's one 🤔
It's fine. 🙆 One task in programming can be solved in many different ways. If your code passed all tests, it complies with the task conditions.
In some rare cases, the solution may be adjusted to the tests, but this can be seen immediately.
I've read the lessons but nothing is clear 🙄
It's hard to make educational materials that will suit everyone. We do our best but there is always something to improve. If you see a material that is not clear to you, describe the problem in “Discussions”. It will be great if you'll write unclear points in the question form. Usually, we need a few days for corrections.
By the way, you can participate in courses improvement. There is a link below to the lessons course code which you can edit right in your browser.
Tips
If the font has only normal weight, the browser will automatically make the characters bold when you set it to
bold. This may not look the way the font designers intended, so make sure that all the right variations of the font are installed
