this is example text".

Like I(talic), B should be used only when another more appropriate markup is not available. Specifically, if your intent is to emphasize a concept use EM or STRONG. BOLD may be used to provide simple typographical distinctions between pieces of text whose relationship would otherwise be blurred:
