Example of editing between HTML tags:
Suppose you want your subtitle to include this:
The sulfur atoms bound to zinc are deprotonated.

1. Type "The sulfur atoms bound to zinc are".
2. Click on Boldface in the list above, displaying "<b>boldface</b>" in the box. Copy and paste it into the subtitle box, giving
   The sulfur atoms bound to zinc are <b>boldface</b>
3. Change the word "boldface" to "deprotonated", being careful not to change the HTML tags that begin with < and end with >. Now you have
   The sulfur atoms bound to zinc are <b>deprotonated</b>.
4. Double check that each tag is closed with a subsequent, corresponding tag beginning </. For example <big> must be closed with </big>.
5. Reload your tutorial, in your web browser, to see the results.
