How to Use the strong Tag for Emphasizing Important Text in HTML?

The <strong> element in HTML is used to give text strong importance, which typically results in the text being displayed in bold by default. It is a semantic element, meaning that it not only affects the visual presentation of the text but also carries a specific meaning that can be interpreted by browsers, search engines, and assistive technologies. By default, most browsers render the text inside a <strong> tag in bold font weight. However, this styling can be overridden using CSS.

 

The <strong> element is used to indicate that the text inside it is of strong importance or seriousness. This can be for emphasizing warnings, key points, or other critical information in the content. Screen readers, for instance, may read text inside a <strong> tag with more emphasis, and search engines might consider it more important content.

 

The <strong> element can be nested within other elements and can also have other inline elements nested within it, such as <a>, <em>, or <span>. However, use it only when the text needs to convey strong importance.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Strong Element Example</title>
</head>
<body>
    <p>This is a normal paragraph, but <strong>this part is very important</strong> for the reader to notice.</p>
</body>
</html>

 


<strong> vs <b>

While both <strong> and <b> (bold) elements render text in bold by default, <strong> is used for semantic emphasis, indicating that the content is of great importance. In contrast, <b> is purely for stylistic purposes and does not add any semantic meaning to the text.
