Content-Based Style

5

Content-based tags deal with identifying words, phrases or chunks of text, or images as having a
specific meaning or context. The intent of content-based tags is not to show physically marked
text. However, it is not wrong for a browser to show content-based text in a distinct style, such as
font style.

Each content-based tag is shown with a brief description, and any physical effects imposed by the
browser.

<abbr> indicates an abbreviation. Using this tag has no effect.

<address> indicates an address. Using this tag has no effect.

<acronym> indicates an acronym. The enclosed text is shown in an italic font.

<cite> indicates a bibliographic citation or reference. The enclosed text is shown in an italic
font.

<code> indicates source code of a program. The enclosed text is shown in a monospaced
font.

<del> indicates deleted text. It is intended to show editorial markup. The enclosed text is
shown with a line through it.

<dfn> indicates a definition for a term. This is normally used with the first appearance of a term
in a document. The enclosed text is shown in an italic font.

<em> indicates emphasis on a string of text. This is the contextual equivalent of using the <i>
(italic) tag. The enclosed text is shown in an italic font.

<ins> indicates inserted text. It is intended to show editorial markup. The enclosed text is
shown underlined.

<kbd> indicates keyboard input. This is similar to the <code> tag, but with a different
contextual intent. The enclosed text is shown in a monospaced font.

<samp> indicates literal text. The enclosed text is shown in a monospaced font.

<strong> indicates emphasis on some text, but in a stronger contextual sense than the <em>
tag. This is the contextual equivalent of using the <b> (bold) tag. The enclosed text is shown in
a bold font.

<var> indicates source code variables. This is similar to the <code> tag, but with a different
contextual intent. The enclosed text is shown in an italic font.
