HTML strong Tag

Last Updated : 3 Apr, 2026

The HTML <strong> tag is used to indicate important text by adding semantic emphasis, typically displayed in bold by browsers.

  • Provides semantic importance, not just visual styling.
  • Helps browsers and screen readers understand emphasis.
  • Commonly rendered in bold by default.
  • Improves accessibility and content meaning.
  • Should be used instead of <b> when importance is intended.
