The purpose of formatting a text is to enhance its visual appearance and improve readability. Formatting allows you to change the font type, size, and style, adjust the line spacing and margins, apply colors and highlighting, and add various design elements such as bullet points, numbering, and headings. It helps organize information, emphasize important points, create a consistent and professional look, and make the text more engaging and appealing to the reader. Additionally, formatting can be used to convey meaning or hierarchy in a document, such as using different font sizes for headings and subheadings, or applying italic or bold styles to highlight keywords or key phrases.
