Tag definition and usage instructions

The tag defines bold text.

The HTML tag should not be confused with the tag, which will highlight the text.

The tag is used for bolding text, but it does not emphasize text like the tag. In most cases, it is recommended to use the tag instead of the tag.

What is the difference between and for bolding

Strong is a tag in the web standard xhtml, and the meaning of strong is "emphasize"; b is from html, and the meaning of b is bold (bold).
Why use strong instead of b? In fact, this question might be better asked: what are the differences between xhtml and html, and why should xhtml be used instead of html?
简单地说：web 标准主张 xhtml 不涉及具体的表现形式，"强调"可以用加粗来强调，也可以用其它方式来强调，比如下划线，比如字体加大，比如红色，等等，可以通过 css 来改变 strong 的具体表现，这就是为什么 b 不能替代 strong。

In simple terms: web standards advocate that xhtml does not involve specific presentation forms, "emphasis" can be emphasized by bold, and can also be emphasized in other ways, such as underlines, larger fonts, red, etc., which can be changed by css to change the specific performance of strong, which is why b cannot replace strong.
