Don't confuse <b> element with <strong>, <em> or <mark>

"Do not confuse the <b> element with the <strong>, <em>, or <mark> elements", says MDN page on <b>: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/b .

But why, exactly? What kinds of daemons will we summon otherwise?

Well, don't do it because "the <strong> element represents text of certain importance, <em> puts some emphasis on the text and the <mark> element represents text of certain relevance. The <b> element doesn't convey such special semantic information [...]"

Ah, ok, I see... Now that's some serious semantic web thing going on - you can nearly feel it in your bones!

But, in all the seriousness - it seems manageable and (relatively) clear, when you invest a few moments into reading some adjacent hypertext on MDN.

We should be fine - daemons begone!
