Google Apps Script, Send Email with content bold

Question

Here I'm sending mail using google apps script and it's working fine. but in email body in need some message in bold i.e, ${Number}

const Recipient = `test@gmail.com, test2@gmail.in`;

const Subject = `You got a new mail: ${Number}`;

const Body    = `Dear User,\n\n New mail received:\n\n\
number:    ${Number} \n\tName: ${name}\n\tEmail: ${email} \n\nBest   
regards,\n name`;

GmailApp.sendEmail(Recipient,Subject,Body);

In your situation, will you use an HTML body? Or, are you required to achieve this using the text body? — Tanaike, Apr 11 '23 at 08:35

In order to bold specific texts in the email, you need to use HTML tags by using htmlBody like this:

function myFunction() {

  let Number = 11, name = 'Joe', email = `test@gmail.com`;

  const Recipient = `test@gmail.com`;

  const Subject = `You got a new mail: ${Number}`;

  const Body = "Dear User,<br><br> New mail received:<br><br> number: <b>" + Number + "</b><br>&emsp;Name:" + name + "<br>&emsp;Email:" + email + "<br><br>Best    regards,<br> name "
  var contentHTML = "<body><p>" + Body + "</p></body>";

  GmailApp.sendEmail(Recipient, Subject, Body, {
    htmlBody: contentHTML
  });

}

the code above will bold specific texts by using the <b> </b> tags and please note that you have to convert <\n> and <\t> to <br> and &emsp; so that the HTML can recognize these tags.

Output:
