STRONG - strong emphasis
Purpose
To emphasize strongly.
Typical rendering
In boldface. If this is impossible, a browser might use e.g.
underlining (Lynx does so).
See general notes on rendering markup.
Basic syntax
<STRONG>text</STRONG>
Possible attributes
None.
Allowed context
Text container, i.e.
any element that may contain text elements.
This includes most HTML elements. In particular,
text elements can be nested.
Contents
Text elements.
Notice that this disallows e.g. paragraph breaks.
Examples
Example STRONG-1.html:
For your own safety,
<STRONG>turn the power off before opening the device.</STRONG>
Notes
Avoid emphasizing too much; emphasizing everything is tantamount
to not emphasizing anything.
The STRONG element involves stronger emphasis than the
EM element.
