sgml-mode.el says

   <p>Paragraphs only need an opening tag.  Line breaks and multiple spaces are
   ignored unless the text is <pre>preformatted.</pre>  Text can be marked as
   <b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i> or <u>underlined</u> using the normal M-o or
   Edit/Text Properties/Face commands.

OK but what about newer <strong>, <em> ?

What about them?

(describe-face 'strong) ;=> "Face: strong   undefined face.

"
(describe-face 'em) ;=> "Face: em   undefined face.

"

All I know is the user does C-h m while editing a .html file,
and cannot find what keys will make <strong></strong>,
nor <b></b> for that matter, and ends up having to type them in by hand.

C-c C-o strong RET seems okay (the "strong" can be completed with TAB).

OK. Sure wish that was mentioned in C-h m text, with a (dynamically
generated) full list of what can be completed.

That way doing C-s strong etc. when looking at the C-h m output will
find what the user is looking for.

Mentioning all HTML elements in the mode description doesn't sound very
useful to me.  As `C-c C-o' is the way to insert elements, and it
autocompletes, I don't see anything to fix here, and I'm closing this
bug report.
