BOLD

Syntax

BOLD <value>
or

PRINT BOLD <value>;

This can be used to change the permanent print settings, or the temporary ones. When used as a direct command:

BOLD n
where n is either 0 (false) or 1 (true), then the subsequent print statements will have their INK pixels emphasized, making text appear bolder.

This command can be used as temporary colours by combining them with a print statement:

Print INK 0;PAPER 7; BOLD 1; "This is BOLD BLACK text on WHITE"

This version does not change the permanent colour settings and only affects the characters printed within that print statement.

Remarks

  • This statement is NOT Sinclair BASIC compatible.
