Formatted text
Shiny has many functions that can transform plain text into formatted text. Simply place text inside the h1() function to create a primary header (e.g. a title), h2() for a secondary header, strong() to make text bold, em() to make text italicized, or any of the other formatting functions.
You can also intermingle plain text and formatted text as much as you'd like—just remember to separate all the elements with commas!
