B Tag in HTML

The <b> tag in HTML is used to make text bold. When you use the <b> tag, the text enclosed within the tags will appear in a bold font. Here’s an example:

<p>This is some <b>bold text</b> in a paragraph.</p>

In the above example, the word “bold text” will appear in a bold font. You can also use the <b> tag within headings, lists, and other HTML elements to make text stand out.

It’s important to note that the <b> tag is a presentational tag, which means it’s used for formatting purposes only. It’s generally recommended to use the <strong> tag instead, which is a semantic tag used to indicate strong importance or emphasis. The <strong> tag has the added benefit of being more accessible to screen readers and other assistive technologies. Here’s an example of using the <strong> tag:

<p>This is some <strong>important text</strong> in a paragraph.</p>

In the above example, the word “important text” will appear in bold, and also indicate to screen readers that the text is of strong importance.
