I think you could have better explained the difference between B, I, EM, and STRONG, and maybe mention CITE?
Remember, ALL HTML tags have meanings separate from their default appearance, and it is for those meanings we should be choosing/using them.
The "italic" tag doesn't mean "show this text in italic", it means "this text would be italic for grammatical or structural reasons" such as a book title that's not being cited and wouldn't be "emphasized". In the same way "bold" doesn't mean "show this text as bold" it means would be bold such as the name of a entity or party in a legal document, since those would not be receiving "more emphasis" -- what STRONG actually MEANS.
Both EM and STRONG being for emphasis, not "show this text as bold or italic". Just as P is for a grammatical paragraph not "I want space around this", and HR is for a thematic break or change in topic not "I want a line drawn across the screen"... or how H1..H6 create your logical document structure, and are NOT just to say "fonts in different weights and sizes".
I've said it for nearly two decades, if you choose ANY of your HTML tags, attributes, or classes based on what you want things to look like, you've failed to divine HTML's purpose.
I am avid programming with more than 7 years creating software solutions for different problems. Obsessed with perfection, code with the best elegance posible trying to make my code easy readable.
I agree with you, you have take another point of view, but the meaning is the same that I have wanted to explain. Sincerely, you explication is more somatic that mine, I only want to explain basic concepts of HTML for teach other the basic structure, in the following post we are going to get into more details of each tag. I really appreciate your collaboration and your opinion, I will take into account for the following posts. I love your method to explain this difference, then I will copy your text for basing on it in the future :)
I have an example I've used for over a decade you're welcome to share in your article. It does an amazing job of showing all four in action.
<i><abbr title="Generic Universal Role Playing System">GURPS</abbr></i>, <b>Steve Jackson Games'</b> flagship role-playing game, was first released in 1985. Several licensed adaptations of other companies' games exist for the system, such as <i>GURPS Bunnies and Burrows.</i> However, <b>SJ Games</b> has no connection with <b>Wizards of the Coast</b>, producers of the <i>Dungeons and Dragons</i> RPG. <em>No <i>GURPS</i> content is open-source.</em> <strong>Do not plagiarize <b>SJ Games</b> work!</strong>
Just because the defaults for screen are the same, doesn't mean it's what they're for.
