What is the difference between bold and strong in html??

Question

It is little bit confusing between this two tags bold and strong

Answer 1

@Jayden LeCorps you are not right actually)

The <b> tag is for "offset text conventionally styled in bold". If you read deeper into the details you'll see it adds, "without conveying any extra emphasis or importance".

<strong> is different. It "represents a span of text with strong importance." There is semantic meaning of importance here. In fact, a <strong> tag within another <strong> tag has even more importance. There is nested importance.

from html5 docs
