[ASP] Set Asp Literal Style

ASP:Literal is simply rendered text. No style available unless it is defined in the text that is given for the literal; i.e. something like this:

<b> Hello, world! </b>

Would render bold. You can not set a style attribute on the Literal.

If you want to be able to set the style attribute, use an ASP:Label instead. It is rendered text wrapped in a <span> tag which allows for the setting of the style attribute.

This wont work:

<asp:Literal ID="myId" runat="server" style="font-weight:bold;"></asp:Label>

This will work:

<asp:Label ID="myId" runat="server" style="font-weight:bold;"></asp:Label>
