A note I wrote to Lindy might help.

Also, changing your text:

<b>BOLD</b> = BOLD
<i>ITALICS</i> = ITALICS
<u>UNDERLINE</u> = UNDERLINE
<i><b>BOLD & ITALICS</b></i> = BOLD & ITALICS
<u><i><b>BOLD, ITALICS, & UNDERLINE</b></i></u> = BOLD, ITALICS, & UNDERLINE

Colors can be fun:
<font color= brown ><b>BOLD & BROWN</b></font> = BOLD & BROWN

Nifty colors include, but are not limited to:
BLUE
NAVY BLUE
PINK
RED
MAROON
BROWN
DARK BROWN
ORANGE
DARK ORANGE
YELLOW
WHITE <== this won’t show up if you’ve a white background, but it’s really white (might need to highlight it to see it)
GREEN
GRAY

** NOTE **
The change always ends with the slashed, or stroked (/), command, and if you combine commands, such as in the BOLD, ITALICS, & UNDERLINE above, always reverse the closure sequence (i.e., b, i, u closes with /u, /i, /b, and font, b closes with /b, /font)
