HTML Formatting Tags
HTML uses tags like <*b> and <*i> for formatting output, like bold or italic text.
These HTML tags are called formatting tags (look at the bottom of this page for a complete reference).
Often <*strong> renders as <*b>, and <*em> renders as <*i>.
However, there is a difference in the meaning of these tags:
<*b> or <*i> defines bold or italic text only.
<*strong> or <*em> means that you want the text to be rendered in a way that the user understands as "important". Today, all major browsers render strong as bold and em as italics. However, if a browser one day wants to make a text highlighted with the strong feature, it might be cursive for example and not bold!
