JavaScript's String object provides functions that display style of the text:

1. big()
2. blink()
3. bold()
4. fixed()
5. fontsize(<size>): This function takes a parameter to specify the font-size in pixels.
6. fontcolor("<color>"): This function takes a string parameter to specify font-color.
7. italics()
8. link(""): This function takes a string parameter to specify the URL.
9. small()
10. strike()
11. sub()
12. sup()
13. toLowercase()
14. toUppercase()

For example, to display selected text in italics:

var text = "Hi there!"
document.write(text.italics()) 
//writes the string in italics

To set a link to a text:

document.write(text.link("http://www.devx.com")) 
//writes a hyperlinked string text
