I was going to stay out of this but foolishly decided to point out that in HTML5 specification, both the b and i tags now have semantic meaning. I quote from the Working Draft regarding the b tag, 'the element has now been given the specific semantic purpose of representing text “offset from its surrounding content without conveying any extra emphasis or importance, and for which the conventional typographic presentation is bold text".' The i tag has a similar semantic meaning. This in turn gives both the em and strong tags a stronger semantic meaning as well since they are specific for text that is to provide voice to the text, emphasis and importance as opposed to a typographical difference.
Unfortunately, Tidy itself has fallen behind and last I saw, the developers didn't have plans to support HTML5, rather they hoped someone else would develop it, html5lib being one option. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
