In HTML5Ā <strong>Ā andĀ <b>Ā both exist and have a different meaning. TheĀ <b>Ā tag is for "offset text conventionally styled in bold". If you read deeper intoĀ the detailsĀ you'll see it adds, "without conveying any extra emphasis or importance". <strong>Ā is different. It "represents a span of text with strong importance." There is semantic meaning of importance here. In fact, aĀ <strong>Ā tag within anotherĀ <strong>Ā tag has even more importance. There is nested importance. TheĀ html5 spec is enlightening on this.
