ElementB
Purposebold text
DescriptionThis element encloses text which should be rendered by the browser as boldface. Because the meaning of the B element defines the appearance of the content it encloses, this element is considered a "physical" markup element. As such, it doesn't convey the meaning of a semantic markup element such as STRONG.
Start tagRequired <B>
