STRONG Description:
The STRONG tag provides stronger emphasis for the enclosed text. Most browsers tend to render STRONG content as bold.
While the STRONG tag is not deprecated, if you want your text to be bold, you should use the font-weight CSS style property.

STRONG Usage:
Standard strong emphasis
This is <strong>stronger emphasized text</strong>.
Use CSS instead:
This is <span style="font-weight: bold;">stronger emphasized text</span>.
STRONG Special Notes:
- Most browsers display the strong tag in bold, but if you write something that must be bold (rather than strongly emphasized), use the font-weight style property.
- You may be tempted to use the B tag in place of the STRONG tag, but this tag is deprecated and you should not use it.
