top

The <b> tag specifies bold text without any extra importance. It is used to make a portion of the text bold without carrying any special importance. According to the HTML5 specification, the <b> tag should be used as a LAST resort when no other tag is more appropriate. The specification states that headings should be denoted with the <h1> to <h6> tags, emphasized text should be denoted with the <em> tag, important text should be denoted with the <strong> tag, and marked/highlighted text should be denoted with the <mark> tag. <b> tags should be used to bring attention to a span of text without increased importance.

Attributes: this element includes the global attributes. There are no attributes that are specific to the <b> tag.
