    <p>"What are the most important HTML tags?" -- almost all of them. The majority of HTML tags have semantics associated with them which can be extremely useful to non-visual browsers; it is unfortunate that most websites hardly use these tags. You can find a complete list in the <a href="http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/" rel="nofollow">HTML5 draft spec</a>, especially section 4.6 on text-level semantics -- most of these have existed since HTML 3 or 4, which is more than a decade now.</p> <p>To point out the most interesting ones:</p> <ul> <li><p><code>&lt;abbr&gt;</code> to mark abbreviations/acronyms (this is probably the only tag that is commonly used) -- this would tell the computer, for example, to spell out H-T-M-L and not try to pronounce it</p></li> <li><p><code>&lt;blockquote&gt;</code> or <code>&lt;q&gt;</code> for text quoted from other sources</p></li> <li><p><code>&lt;dfn&gt;</code> for a term that is being defined</p></li> <li><p><code>&lt;var&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;samp&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;kbd&gt;</code> to mark various semantics of code snippets or input/output</p></li> <li><p><code>&lt;address&gt;</code> for addresses and other contact information</p></li> <li><p><code>&lt;dl&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;dt&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;dd&gt;</code> for lists of terms and definitions, such as a glossary</p></li> </ul> <p>Also, most of the new tags in HTML5 have very specific uses, such as <code>&lt;nav&gt;</code> (page navigation that a screen reader could possibly skip), <code>&lt;article&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;header&gt;</code>, <code>&lt;footer&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;time&gt;</code>.</p>
