Description

The <b> HTML tag, short for "bold," is a simple inline element used to apply bold formatting to text within a web page. When you enclose text within <b> opening and closing tags, it instructs the web browser to display that text with a heavier or thicker font weight, making it visually stand out from the surrounding text. While it was traditionally used for emphasizing text, it is considered a presentational element, and the more semantically meaningful <strong> tag is recommended for indicating strong importance or emphasis in modern HTML for better accessibility and search engine optimization.
