ABBR - Abbreviation
| Syntax | <ABBR>...</ABBR> |
The ABBR element is used to markup abbreviations. The TITLE attribute is useful in conjunction with ABBR to give the long form of the abbreviation, allowing visual browsers to provide the long form as a "tooltip". If the short form is a pronounceable word, the ACRONYM element should be used instead of ABBR.
Examples:
<abbr title="United Nations">U.N.</abbr>
<abbr title="Saint John Academy">"SJA"</abbr>
EM - Emphasis
| Syntax | <EM>...</EM> |
The EM element gives emphasis to its contents. Visual browsers typically render EM as italic text, but authors can suggest a rendering using style sheets. Since EM is a structural element, it carries meaning, making it preferable to font style elements such as I when emphasis is the intended meaning.
For strong emphasis, use the STRONG element.
Example:
<em>(In English, Your Kingdom Come)</em>
STRONG - Strong Emphasis
| Syntax | <STRONG>...</STRONG> |
The STRONG element gives strong emphasis to its contents. Visual browsers typically render STRONG as bold text, but authors can suggest a rendering using style sheets. Since STRONG is a structural element, it carries meaning, making it preferable to font style elements such as B when strong emphasis is the intended meaning.
For weaker emphasis, use the EM element.
Example:
<strong>ADVENIAT REGNUM TUUM</strong>
BLOCKQUOTE - Block Quotation
| Syntax | <BLOCKQUOTE>...</BLOCKQUOTE> |
The BLOCK QUOTE element defines a block quotation. Unlike inline quotations, block quotations may contain block-level elements such as P and TABLE, but BLOCK QUOTE may not be contained within a paragraph or inline element.
Authors should not use BLOCK QUOTE for unquoted material just to achieve a block indentation in common visual browsers. With the rise of style sheets, such misuse of BLOCK QUOTE will become less reliable while also reducing the author's ability to fully exploit the power of style sheets. Cascading Style Sheets provide the margin-left property to indent a block.
Example:
< blockquote >The LAMB symbolizes Jesus Christ, whom John the Baptist revealed to us as the Paschal Lamb provided by God for the forgiveness of sins, who will offer himself on the cross as our sacrifice that is acceptable to God. The BOOK symbolizes the GOSPEL of the Lamb of God, which he summed in his inaugural message. "This is time of fulfillment. The reign of God is at hand. Reform your lives and believe in the gospel". </blockquote>
