More HTML / Display Types and Hierarchy
DFTW Lesson 26
We’re keeping it simple! And 90s, so – which elements are the next most important ones to learn? Which ones are inline, and which ones are block? Share 6+ new elements you’re going to try using.
<b>→ bold → inline<em>→ emphasize → inline<mark>→ highlight → inline<img>→ image → inline<div>→ generic block container<span>→ generic inline container<br>→ line break → block, right?
I'm sure we already talked about this, but for any of your readers:
<b> was for "bold" and then that kinda shifted because that's purely presentational and only really visually embellishing something that should be strongly emphasized regardless of what it looks like. A computer-generated voice might read it with a different inflection even if you couldn't see it. So, - now they use <em> for emphasis and <Strong> for strong emphasis. However, people don't want to let go of <b> so they are trying to say that it now means "bring attention to." https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/b
