This could be a sentence that is of great importance to the whole page, or you could merely try to point out that some words are of greater importance compared to nearby content.</p> <p>Typically this element is rendered by default using a bold font weight. However, it should <em>not</em> be used to apply bold styling; use the CSS <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-weight"><code>font-weight</code></a> property for that purpose. Use the <a href="b"><code><b></code></a> element to draw attention to certain text without indicating a higher level of importance.

Don't they both do the same thing?"</p> <p>Not exactly. The <code><strong></code> element is for content that is of greater importance, while the <code><b></code> element is used to draw attention to text without indicating that it's more important.</p> <p>It may help to realize that both are valid and semantic elements in HTML and that it's a coincidence that they both have the same default styling (boldface) in most browsers (although some older browsers actually underline <code><strong></code>). Each element is meant to be used in certain types of scenarios, and if you want to bold text for decoration, you should instead actually use the CSS <a href="https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/font-weight"><code>font-weight</code></a> property.</p> <p>The intended meaning or purpose of the enclosed text should be what determines which element you use.

This is an important distinction to make.</p> <p>While <code><em></code> is used to change the meaning of a sentence as spoken emphasis does ("I <em>love</em> carrots" vs. "I love <em>carrots</em>"), <code><strong></code> is used to give portions of a sentence added importance (e.g., "<strong>Warning!</strong> This is <strong>very dangerous.</strong>") Both <code><strong></code> and <code><em></code> can be nested to increase the relative degree of importance or stress emphasis, respectively.</p> +</div> +<h2 id="examples">Examples</h2> + +<h3 id="basic_example">Basic example</h3> +<div class="section-content"> +<div class="code-example"> +<p class="example-header"><span class="language-name">html</span></p> +<pre data-signature="+ia1N9Cr/Ak2PJw0ZzSr6MjvzwYt24RhK5lB0/ynBVo=" data-language="html"><span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"><</span>p</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span> + Before proceeding, <span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"><</span>strong</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span>make sure you put on your safety goggles<span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"></</span>strong</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span>. +<span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"></</span>p</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span> +</pre> +</div> <h4 id="result">Result</h4> +<div class="code-example" id="sect1"> + +<iframe class="sample-code-frame" title="Basic example sample" id="frame_basic_example" width="650" height="80" src="https://live.mdnplay.dev/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/strong/runner.html?id=basic_example" loading="lazy"></iframe> +</div> +</div> +<h3 id="labeling_warnings">Labeling warnings</h3> +<div class="section-content"> +<div class="code-example"> +<p class="example-header"><span class="language-name">html</span></p> +<pre data-signature="aRvQkg5EdBGHvnO/h9OSM9U3Z0rxY/xx8glsxw4OjgM=" data-language="html"><span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"><</span>p</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span> + <span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"><</span>strong</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span>Important:<span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"></</span>strong</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span> Before proceeding, make sure you add plenty of + butter. +<span class="token tag"><span class="token tag"><span class="token punctuation"></</span>p</span><span class="token punctuation">></span></span> +</pre> +</div> <h4 id="result_2">Result</h4> +<div class="code-example" id="sect2"> + +<iframe class="sample-code-frame" title="Labeling warnings sample" id="frame_labeling_warnings" width="650" height="80" src="https://live.mdnplay.dev/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/strong/runner.html?id=labeling_warnings" loading="lazy"></iframe> +</div> +</div> +<h2 id="technical_summary">Technical summary</h2> +<div class="section-content"><figure class="table-container"><div class="_table"><table class="properties"> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row"><a href="../content_categories">Content categories</a></th> <td> <a href="../content_categories#flow_content">Flow content</a>, <a href="../content_categories#phrasing_content">phrasing content</a>, palpable content. </td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Permitted content</th> <td> +<a href="../content_categories#phrasing_content">Phrasing content</a>.</td> </tr> <tr> <th scope="row">Tag omission</th> <td>None;
