It depends where the output is appearing.

In the terminal, you can use ANSI escape codes.  See the file
examples/ansitext in the Remind source distribution and see
Tim Chase's message on this list.

If you're using rem2html to produce an HTML calendar, you can
use the SPECIAL HTML directive:

REM ... SPECIAL HTML This is <b>bold</b> and here is a <a href="foo">link</a>.

If you're using rem2pdf to produce a PDF calendar, you can use
the SPECIAL PANGO directive:

REM ... SPECIAL PANGO This is <b>bold</b>.

For more information on that, see https://docs.gtk.org/Pango/pango_markup.html
