How would you make text bold using Notepad? (or vi, if you are on *nix)
A txtfile as you call it indicates it is ascii, non-formatted text, hence you cannot make text bold, in italics or upside down.

How about <bold> .... </bold>?

Try putting the file out in HTML or RTF (rich text format).

At one of my previous projects, we used SYLK ( file format )to generate formated output. It is ancient and (very) limited, but Excel knows how to handle it. You can format your text with it.

[EDIT: added some clarifications]

How does your end-user view the output? What application does he/she use to view your txtfile? It all depends on the UI your user uses: if it's a browser, use HTML; if it's Excel, SYLK indeed is a good alternative.
