Tags for making the text bold
Sometimes, you might want some text on your web page to be displayed in bold, so as to grab user attention, or for describing this text as important. Obviously, you need to use some tag to achieve this. We have b tag for making the text bold. The text between the <b> and </b> tag becomes bold.
Alternatively, we can also use the strong tag to do so, but it defines the text as having some strong importance. Refer to the below example for understanding the use of both tags. The content between <strong> and </strong> will be of strong importance. So it will be shown in a bold format.

<html lang=”en”>
<head>
<meta charset=”UTF-8″>
<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=edge”>
<meta name=”viewport” content=”width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0″>
<title>Some heading here…</title>
</head>
<body>
<div>this text contains <b>some text, which is bold, made using the b tag</b>, and also some text, which has a <strong>strong importance</strong></div>
</body>
