RE: [WSG] Why is u deprecated?

2008-03-26 Thread Tim MacKay
I agree with the reasoning but in practice I think its actually better to use b and i (maybe not so much u) - sometimes you just want something bold and its much less markup to wrap b and i instead of span class=bold [which in itself creates the conumdrum of separating markup from presentation:

2008-02-10 Thread Tim MacKay
Hi Taco, In the case of the example you provided I'd say definitely no need for the nested p tag. The li tags are enough to describe the content inside them - they are items in a list. I don't see how it is a duplicate style of the p tag either, in my experience it is good practice to style
