<B> </B>

The B tag is used to make the enclosed text in a bold typeface. It is also distinctly rendered from italicized text.

If you want to indicate strong emphasis, use the STRONG tag instead. B should only be used when you want bold typeface for some other reason than for strong emphasis. While the two tags usually produce the same output, the B tag does not provide any reasons why the enclosed text is in boldface. This means that text-only browsers cannot pick a good alternative. With the STRONG tag this is possible.

<B>This is BOLD text,</B> but this isn't.
This is BOLD text, but this isn't.
