3. Text Types

We may need to use bold or emphasis when writing with reStructuredText.

3.1. Bold

When the write with the following reStructuredText markup / syntax:

One word is **bold.**

**This sentence is bold**

**This paragraph
is bold. Very Bold**

The |rst| text written above is generated/rendered as shown below:


One word is bold.

This sentence is bold

This paragraph is bold. Very Bold

3.2. Italic

When the write with the following reStructuredText markup / syntax:

One word is *italic.*

*This sentence is italic/emaphsized*

*This paragraph
is emaphsized. Very much emaphsized*

The |rst| text written above is generated/rendered as shown below:

This sentence is italic/emaphsized

This paragraph is emaphsized. Very much emaphsized

3.3. Fixed Font / Typewriter font

When the write with the following reStructuredText markup / syntax:

Tho show fixed text, you can use ``FIXED`` or :samp:`FIXED`

However, it is recommended to use correct markup for text readability.
Which may be rendered differently based on PDF/HTML, etc.  The also
makes the source text more readable.

To start :program:`Word` you can either Go to :menuselection:`Start --> Programs` or
run :command:`winword`.

When you are done :menuselection:`File --> Save &As`
then press :kbd:`ALT + TAB` go go to :program:`Widnows Explorer` and see if the file is really saved or not.

The |rst| text written above is generated/rendered as shown below:

3.4. Mixed Font

There are few things that would work, and few which would not.

When the write with the following reStructuredText markup / syntax:

Mix an match should be word by word. ``FIXED`` or **bold** or *emphasized*

:samp:`This **won't** work.`

``this`` **would** ``work``

The |rst| text written above is generated/rendered as shown below:
