Additionally, <strong> conveys a meaning - showing the text strongly - while <b> (for bold) conveys a method - bolding the text. With strong, your code still makes sense if you use CSS stylesheets to change what the methods of making the text strong is. The same goes for the difference between <i> and <em> "

As I think there might be a lot difference like: for the people who can't she the PCs has screen readers, if it's strong then it will pronounced it differently, but if it's bold, there won't be any pronunciation.

Browsers display <strong> as <b>, and <em> as <i>. However, the meanings of these tags differ; <b> and <i> define bold and italic text respectively, while <strong> and <em> indicate that text is imortant...

They have the same effect. However, XHTML, a cleaner, newer version of HTML, recommends the use of the <strong> tag.Strong is better because it is easier to read - its meaning is clearer. Additionally, <strong> conveys a meaning - showing the text strongly - while <b> (for bold) conveys a method - bolding the text

They visually give the same results. strong came out with the new HTML5 as the new convention to produce this kind of result, as the intention of HTML5 is to add meaning to the text and code you're actually writing, this differs from bold. One major example to illustrate this is when you're writing code focused on accessibility. If you surround the text with strong, the emphasis on the word, that the voice program will input, will be much more stronger and highlighted, where as with bold the reading will be the same.

D/f is. Bold is just to make the text thicker. while Strong is to tell that this text is important
