copied!<p>First have a look what <a href="http://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/FAQ#Why_are_some_presentational_elements_like_.3Cb.3E.2C_.3Ci.3E_and_.3Csmall.3E_still_included.3F" rel="nofollow noreferrer">WHATWG says about it</a> (this is also mentioned in the answer to the related question cited above).</p> <p>It is said (as I thought, too) that <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-strong-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><strong></a> and <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-em-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em></a> provide an emphasis when using a screen reader, but according to <a href="http://csswizardry.com/2010/01/a-reconsiderationin-defence-of-b-and-i-or-people-fear-what-they-dont-understand/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this article</a> by Harry Roberts, it turns out that in practice screen readers don't accentuate text marked this way.</p> <p>And last, read the spec about <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-b-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><b></a> (it's already mentioned in the FAQ in the first link, above):</p> <blockquote> <p>The b element represents a span of text to be stylistically offset from the normal prose without conveying any extra importance, such as key words in a document abstract, product names in a review, or other spans of text whose typical typographic presentation is boldened.</p> </blockquote> <p>and <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-i-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><i></a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>The i element represents a span of text in an alternate voice or mood, or otherwise offset from the normal prose, such as a taxonomic designation, a technical term, an idiomatic phrase from another language, a thought, a ship name, or some other prose whose typical typographic presentation is italicized.</p> </blockquote> <p>Likewise, have a look at <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-small-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><small></a>, <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-hr-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><hr></a> and <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-br-element" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><br></a> (there are examples there, too.)</p>
