I've found this list of depreciated tags
http://www.html-reference.com/depreciated.htm which lists <strong> and
<em> as depreciated. I thought the <b> tag would be depreciated.
So which is correct? What should I be using? I know I can just use
<span> tags, and apply css, it's a little clunky to me though. Any
thoughts on this would be welcome.
The site is wrong, plain and simple. <b> and <i> ARE depreciated, while
<strong>, <em>, and <blockquote> are certainly NOT. Also, the size and
type attributes are also not depreciated.
It should be noted that <strong> and <em> are not replacements for <b>
and <i> as the former are semantic and not presentational, while the
latter are presentational and not semantic. For example, while the
default presentational representation of <strong> is bold for many
languages, it's not the case for all.
