<b>
This element encloses text which should be rendered by the browser as boldface. Because the meaning of the B element defines the appearance of the content it encloses, this element is considered a "physical" markup element. As such, it doesn't convey the meaning of a semantic markup element such as strong.
<strong>
Description This element brackets text which should be strongly emphasized. Stronger than the em element.
HTML doesn't have a <bold>
tag, instead you would have to use <b>
. Note however, that using <b>
is discouraged in favor of CSS for a while now. You would be better off using CSS to achieve that.
The <strong>
tag is a semantic element for strong emphasis which defaults to bold.
