Tips & notes

Don't overuse the <strong> tag. This tag is meant to highlight just a few important words here and there, not entire paragraphs or pages. Use the <strong> tag rarely, only when you want to emphasize some text.

It's better to use CSS to style text than text formatting tags like <strong>.
