Understanding Bolding in HTML: When to Use b vs strong

Bolding refers to the use of a strong, heavy font weight to draw attention to specific text or elements on a web page. It is often used to highlight important information, such as headings, titles, and key phrases.

In HTML, you can use the `b` tag to create bold text. However, this tag has been largely replaced by the `strong` tag, which provides more semantic meaning and better accessibility. The `strong` tag indicates that the text is important or emphasized in some way, without specifying the exact font weight or style.

Here's an example of how you might use the `b` tag to create bold text:
```
This text is bold
```
And here's an example of how you might use the `strong` tag to create bold text with better semantic meaning:
```
This text is important
```
It's worth noting that while the `b` tag is still supported in HTML, it is considered to be a presentational element, meaning that it only affects the display of the text and does not provide any additional semantic meaning. The `strong` tag, on the other hand, is a semantic element that indicates the importance of the text, regardless of the font weight or style used.
