The b element

Read Original

This article examines the HTML <b> element, detailing its shift from a purely presentational 'bold' tag in HTML4 to a semantic 'Bring Attention To' element in HTML5. It contrasts <b> with the <strong> element, discusses the implications for accessibility and screen readers, and humorously questions the practical use cases for drawing attention to text without conveying importance.
