## B Tag ## B Tag
The `<b>` tag is used to specify bold text, without conveying any special importance or relevance. When bolding text of special importance or relevance, it is recommended that you use the `<strong>` tag. Formerly used to bold text the `<b>` tag is now known as the 'Bring Attention To element' tag. It should be used only to draw attention to the contents of the element.
Most browsers will display text in bold type but you should not use it for this purpose, instead use CSS `font-weight` property for purely visual display reasons. If you wish to signify the elements content are of special importance use the `<strong>` tag instead.
An appropriate use case is drawing attention to keywords in a text.
### Example: ### Example:
```html ```html
<b>This text is bold</b> Examples of extinct <b>fauna</b>include ...
``` ```
This would appear as: This would appear as:
**This text is bold** Examples of extinct **fauna** include ...
