<b> or <strong> ?

#WhatTheHTML

Neither. Use css :P

<span class="fat">

#fat {

font-wheight: 140;

}

@MaLiN2223 Agree. But...

#bolded-text-id {
font-weight: bold;
}

<span id="bolded-text-id">only bold this</span>

--VS--

<b>only bold this</b>

@corscheid from experience: in a few weeks it is going go be changed to red and font to XYZ.
Next few weeks and client is going to say "I want this super fancy markup what I saw on ABC website"

In Web development it's better to be over prepared :P

Edit: And also you block yourself from doing multiple layouts.

@corscheid ++ exactly my point.

You should use <strong> to encode intent, not style. CSS is for styling.

HTML tags are used for intent.

B is no longer recommended for emphasis, since strong exists.

I use B.

If you need to style. Use context styling.

.context strong {}

<b></b> is deprecated, <strong></strong> is the proper element, but for visualization, you should use custom CSS. However, for accessibility options, you should still use the strong element because modern browsers will pronounce strong elements differently

@lurch This is the correct answer. Well put!

@corscheid IDs have dots at the beginning in css, dont they?

@Artemix me=html pro (really. I am... NOT)
