https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_strong.asp Definition and Usage The <strong> tag is a phrase tag. It defines important text. Tip: This tag is not deprecated, but it is possible to achieve richer effect with CSS. All phrase tags: Tag Description <em> Renders as emphasized text <strong> Defines important text <code> Defines a piece of computer code <samp> Defines sample output from a computer program <kbd> Defines keyboard input <var> Defines a variable ---------------------- https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_b.asp Tips and Notes: Note: According to the HTML 5 specification, the <b> tag should be used as a LAST resort when no other tag is more appropriate. The HTML 5 specification states that headings should be denoted with the <h1> to <h6> tags, emphasized text should be denoted with the <em> tag, important text should be denoted with the <strong> tag, and marked/highlighted text should use the <mark> tag. Tip: You can also use the CSS "font-weight" property to set bold text.
