>From the official documentation: *Note:* Feel free to use <b> and <i> in HTML5, but their usage has changed a bit. <b> is meant to highlight words or phrases without conveying additional importance while <i> is mostly for voice, technical terms, etc.
Basically, the semantics of <i> changed, so it's probably just "syntactic sugar", a semantic reassignment of the tag. Since <i> is a nice mnemonic for "icon", and shorter than a span with a class - I personally like the approach. -- Catalin Pintea, *Designer* catalinpintea.com On Tue, Jun 19, 2012 at 5:46 PM, K20 <[email protected]> wrote: > In this part of boostrap documentation : > http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/base-css.html#icons > it is explained how to use glyphicons. > > Why <i> tag is used to display these tags ?
