Hi Kepler,In many ways, <b> has been deprecated in favour of <strong> and <i> in favour of <em> (emphasis). <u> (underline) has been deprecated because it shouldn't be part of structural markup, but instead part of styling, so it would be replaced by <span class="underline"></span> or similar.
The reason <b> (bold) and <i> italic haven't actually been deprecated is that the HTML working group were worried it would lead to the misuse of other presentational tags, indeed such as <em> and <strong>, which should be considered whenever you use these 'newer' tags!

Hi, I am just curious if anyone can explain why the <u> tag has been deprecated while <b> and <i> are still allowed. Thanks in advance.
