Hello, right now I'm studying to become a IT-administrator and i'm working with Raspberry Pi and Bash. We are working with CUPS atm and I need to do some editing with nano, but I don't know how to make the text fat/bold.
I have searched on the internet and in bash with help, but I can't find any answer. I don't know the command if it is a command to make the text fat/bold.

Thanks for the help

I think a much better title would have been "how do I make bold text with nano?"

I don't know if this is even possible since you're just editing plain text. I suppose you could put relevant code tags around the text for later conversion.

Right, thank you.
It's the notes for the subject that tells me to use Bold text. Idk why they would say that if you can't make it bold.

Thanks for the help anyway

Editors like nano only work with plain text. Having looked at your image, I think you have misunderstood your instructions. This is definitely a cupsd configuration file and therefore it must be written in plain text. It cannot contain any kind of formatting. The bolding must be simply to draw your attention to those particular entries.
