The HTML <b> element allows you to make text bold (it stands for “bold”) and is used to add emphasis to text.
In HTML5, the <b> element has been deprecated in favor of the <strong> element, which has the same effect whilst also adding semantic meaning to the text.

Attributes
The <b> element doesn’t have any specific attributes, but it’s important to note that it’s a presentational element, meaning it’s used for styling rather than for content or structure. In HTML5, it’s recommended to use the <strong> element instead, which has the same effect but also adds semantic meaning to the text.
Content
The <b> element is used to make text bold, so you can put any text you want inside it.
