Structural text elements are a mixture of format and content elements. The common denominator is that none of them specify exact presentation characteristics:
| <BIG></BIG> |
Big text |
| <SMALL></SMALL> |
Small text |
| <EM></EM> |
Emphasized text |
| <STRONG></STRONG> |
Strong text |
| <CITE></CITE> |
Citation |
| <KBD></KBD> |
Keyboard (user input for documentation) |
| <SAMP></SAMP> |
Sample (software output for documentation) |
| <CODE></CODE> |
|
You
can specify the display characteristics of structural elements using Cascading
Style Sheets (CSS), discussed later in the course.
