# Bold [![Version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/@tiptap/extension-bold.svg?label=version)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@tiptap/extension-bold) [![Downloads](https://img.shields.io/npm/dm/@tiptap/extension-bold.svg)](https://npmcharts.com/compare/@tiptap/extension-bold?minimal=true) Use this extension to render text in **bold**. If you pass ``, `` tags, or text with inline `style` attributes setting the `font-weight` CSS rule in the editor’s initial content, they all will be rendered accordingly. Type `**two asterisks**` or `__two underlines__` and it will magically transform to **bold** text while you type. ::: warning Restrictions The extension will generate the corresponding `` HTML tags when reading contents of the `Editor` instance. All text marked bold, regardless of the method will be normalized to `` HTML tags. ::: ## Installation ```bash # with npm npm install @tiptap/extension-bold # with Yarn yarn add @tiptap/extension-bold ``` ## Settings | Option | Type | Default | Description | | -------------- | -------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- | | HTMLAttributes | `Object` | `{}` | Custom HTML attributes that should be added to the rendered HTML tag. | ## Commands | Command | Parameters | Description | | ---------- | ---------- | ------------------ | | setBold | — | Mark text as bold. | | toggleBold | — | Toggle bold mark. | | unsetBold | — | Remove bold mark. | ## Keyboard shortcuts * Windows/Linux: `Control` `B` * macOS: `Cmd` `B` ## Source code [packages/extension-bold/](https://github.com/ueberdosis/tiptap/blob/main/packages/extension-bold/) ## Usage
