2. Bold Tag
My presentation is about the bold tag and its
use within HTML 5.
3. Function
The bold tag is delineated as <b> … </b>
Typically used to emphasize a line of text
4. Usage
Can be used to separate text from each other
IE; Separating a word from its definition within
a dictionary
IE; Inflect tone of voice within a sentence
7. Tone of voice example
“That guy is such a douche bag.”
<p>That guy is such a
<b>douchebag</b></p>
“Drop the knife, now!”
<p>Drop the knife, <b>now</b>!</p>
9. However…
HTML 5 specification says the <b> tag should
only be used as a last resort when writing
HTML
Alternatives to the <b> tag are <em> or
<strong> when emphasizing or denoting
important text, respectively.
10. Forum usage
Can be commonly found on
websites, especially forums.
When writing responses to other people on
forums, the response editor typically uses
snippets of very basic HTML 5 code, <b> tags
included.
