A text file is just plain text, no font-formatting such as bold or italics. You'll need to use a different file format

.txt is a raw text format: you can't use any type of text-formatting.
Some "generic" conventions are **Bold** and *italic* because a lot of markdown will interpret these as bold and italic.
Another thing that could be usefull to display a bold text is to use bash. But it will of course only work in you display the .txt in a bash-terminal. For this, you can use something like echo -e "33[1mThis text is bold", but it will be copied 'as it' in the .txt file.
