I use <big> and <b> tags in HTML to highlight a paragraph between other paragraphs:

<p>This is a simple paragraph.</p>
<p><big><b>This is a highlighted paragraph.</b></big></p>

India's Hindi Film Industry's one of the legendary actors Amitabh Bachchan is also known as "Big B". (However, I am not a fan of him, I just use these tags when defining a class in a CSS file is "costlier". (When such text is written only one or two times.) (I know that <big> tag is deprecated. But it is still working in web browsers, and it is never going away (from how much I know HTML and the web browsers 😄). And even if it is removed, it isn't significant and it will not produce any error, it will simply be ignored by the browsers.)
