I'm not quite sure about the context of this post, but here it is anyways.

This is how to print bold text in the Terminal of OS X.

bold="\033[1m"
reset="\033[0;0m"
echo -e ${bold}bold text ${reset}normal text

    Who wouldn't want to print bold text in the terminal?! No, really, I don't know. I was just playing around, and was curious as to how it was done smiley
