title: In a C/C++ program, how can I write bold text in the terminal?
body: <p>is it possible to format the console output, like writing in bold, of a C/C++ program? I'm talking just about the console output (so no high-level) e.g.:</p>
  
  <pre><code>std::cout &lt;&lt; "\b this is bold";
  std::cout &lt;&lt; " this is not";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I hope there are some libraries, this program is intended for Linux.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for advises.</p>
