Newest post: Semantic HTML is a Myth
<center>is to be avoided, because it mixes up style and content, which must be kept separate at all costs.But
<p class="centered">plus.centered { text-align: center; }--- now that's some clean code!Likewise, you should always use
<em>and<strong>instead of<i>and<b>. Someone might want to emphasize (or... strengthen?) parts of your content differently than with italics or boldface. In this scenario, they can't just style the<i>and the<b>exactly the same way one would style the "semantic" versions, for... reasons.A good rule of thumb is that the more you have to type, the more semantic your HTML is. Hence why we can no longer use
...<blink>or<marquee>and instead must write god knows how many lines of CSS to accomplish the exact same result. Typing is a ritual we perform to sanctify our HTML. The more you type, the more blessed your website.
