The display renders the output. So it depends on the display device what is required to enabled bold text. If the display device is a web browser, then it will be HTML and the bold text HTML tag needs to be used.
If it is for example an ANSI device (like a console running the sqlplus program), then ANSI escape codes need to be used to tell the ANSI device to enable bold (and disable it after the end of the text).
I posted a basic example in {message:id=9276344} a while back for how to underline text. For bold text on an ANSI device, your SQL statement needs to include the following CHR() calls:
SQL> select chr(27)||'[1;10m'||'This is a test'||chr(27)||'[1;00m' as COL1 from dual;
COL1
This is a testThe output will be rendered as:
This is a test
If you are sending e-mail, then you need to tell the mail reader what renderer to use - and create a Mime body with Mime type HTML in order to use HTML rendering (and thus HTML tags in your mail).
