STRONG is for importance
strong
The "strong" element is for indicating that a word or phrase within a sentence has strong importance, urgency or seriousness.
This is typically conveyed with typography by applying a font weight to the strong phrase that is heavier than its surrounding text, but other CSS styling may serve the purpose better.
Importance as used here is not the same as embolden as used with the "b" element.
