Paragraphs em strong and b i

Mark up prose with semantic emphasis and bold tags.

The Paragraph Element

The <p> element marks a block of text as a paragraph:

<p>This is a paragraph of text. Browsers add margin above and below paragraphs automatically.</p>
<p>This is a second paragraph. It starts on a new line.</p>

Semantic Emphasis: em

The <em> element marks text with stress emphasis — the word that changes the meaning of the sentence:

<p>I <em>never</em> said she stole the money.</p>
<p>I never said <em>she</em> stole the money.</p>
<!-- Same words, different meaning depending on which is emphasized -->
<!-- Screen readers change inflection on em content -->
