<b>
The <b> element is typically used to apply bold highlighting to
the content of the element. This element is part of the highlighting domain. Use this element only when a more
semantically appropriate element is not available. For example, for specific items such as GUI controls, use the <uicontrol>
element.
note
Style sheets can be used to format the <b>
element differently, just like any other element can be restyled. Thus, it is not
the case that
content in <b> elements will necessarily be bold.
