The bold text tag <b>
There are different ways to style your text in HTML, and one of the basic ones is to add formatting tags. The paired <b>
tag makes the text bold without any extra importance — it's usually used for emphasis.
Don't use the <b>
tag to mark headings — instead, make headings with special heading tags from <h1>
to <h6>
as they also structure the content.
Pro Tip: Consider adding <strong>
together with <b>
. 99% of the time, you will make semantically important text bold, which can also be important for SEO.
