Section 1.4: Bold, Italic, Strikethrough, or Underlined Text

When using NVDA, Screen readers by default do not recognize text that is bold, italic, underlined and strikethrough text is caught by the screen readersor underlined. The screen reader will say “Bold, John,” or “Underlined, Dan.” text will be read as normal text. There are settings available in NVDA to make the text be read as bold, italic or underlined, but very few people change these settings. A good rule is to use bold text, italics, underlined, or strikethrough text sparingly. You do not need an entire sentence or paragraph underlined.

Warning

This an example that is difficult to read, has way too many things bolded and italicized. The underlining also distracts readers and can make it harder to understand.
