All of the rules for italics apply to boldface. The guidelines on bold are simple: basically, if it looks bold, tag it. If in doubt whether text is actually bold (rather than a print anomaly such as over-inking) ask in the project discussion for clarification.
The exception is headings; we do not normally mark headings as bold. See the following examples for more detail.
Before reviewing these examples, make sure you are familiar with the Bold Text and Inline Markup sections of the Formatting Guidelines.
