| Formatting Text by Its Usage |
One of the primary uses of the HTML is to
mark up text so that its meaning and structure, rather than
just appearance, is immediately apparent. It is something
like giving different styles to the parts of a document.
The first set elements that are used to
format the HTML page into structures and text fragments are -"the PHRASE elements".
Emphasis: This
is used to make the text emphasized. Italics are the recommended rendering of emphasized text.
Syntax:
<EM [core] [international][events]>…text…</EM>
Strong: It gives strong emphasize to the text.
Syntax:
<STRONG [core] [international][events]>…text…</STRONG>
This gives the text extra emphasis. Boldface type is the rendering of strong text.
CITE: The <CITE>
tag is used to identify sources of information outside the current document.
Syntax:
<CITE [core] [international][events]>…source…<CITE>
Source is the name of the citation. The
usual rendering for <CITE> is italics.
Some more of the Phrase elements are given here.
Definition Terms:
Syntax:
<DFN [core] [international][events]>…term…</DFN>
It is used to identify the words within
a body if the text that includes the definition is in the
same sentence. The typical rendering for a defined term is italics.
Syntax:
<ABBR [core] [international][events]>…the
abbreviation…</ABBR>
Syntax:
<ACRONYM [core] [international][events]>…the letters…</ACRONYM>
Acronym is an abbreviation that is pronounced as if a word.
Both <ACRONYM> and <ABBR>
are new tags. Check out whether it is supported by your recent Browser!
