- Emphasis in HTML: em, strong, and de-emphasis
- “The best approach is probably to treat
emas “local” emphasis, which should be indicated when the text is read but need not jump on the reader’s face, whereasstrongis for “global” emphasis, which is roughly the opposite: text marked up usingstrongshould be prominently highlighted, but usually not emphasized when actually reading the text. In fact, it might be a good idea, for such emphasis usage, to makestrongelements clickable so that when clicked on they turn into normal text. Just like you might like to click on blinking or marquee text after it has caught your attention. (Ideally, this would be a browser feature; it can be clumsily implemented on a per-page and per-element basis using CSS and scripting.)”
