Tips & Tricks

Many people use this element interchangeably with B (Bold.) If the aim is to make text explicitly bold, then use B - If the intention is to place a heavy emphasis on a passage of text, STRONG is the preferred element to use.
Text based or some other types of browsers may not be able to render the B element, but the STRONG element implies that the contained text should be brought to very high prominence, no matter the display method used.
