Logical Style 5
Tags that control logical style provide a similar functionality to those that control content-based
style, but they have no implicit visual characteristics or contextual m eaning. Instead, they only
provide a means of invoking a style sheet. These tags, like all others, may have an ID and class
attribute set. Using style sheet rules for these class names and IDs allows the designer to provide
decoration, font, and color styles to each section. Thus, these tags may be conside red to be
designer-defined content-based tags:
<div> indicates a division. A newline is inserted between the previous tex t and the text
following the <div> tag. No physical changes are noticeable, except those implem ented in
style sheets.
<span> indicates a spanned section of text is placed immediately after the text precedi ng the
tag with a newline. No physical changes are noticeable, except those implement ed in style
sheets.
Physical Style 5
Physical tags are effectively the opposite of content-based tags. The text in a physical tag m ay
have no meaning whatsoever, outside of what the designer intended. These tags show text in a
distinct style. Physical tags typically affect font style.
Each physical style tag is shown below with a brief description, and any physical effects imposed
by the browser.
<b> indicates that the text should appear in a bold font weight.
<big> indicates that the text should appear one point size larger than the current text.
<i> indicates that the text should appear in an italic font.
<small> indicates that the text should appear one point size sm aller than the current text.
<sub> indicates that the text should appear as a subscript to the current text. The text is
shown one point size smaller.
<sup> indicates that the text should appear as a superscript to the current text. The text is
shown one point size smaller.
<tt> indicates that the text should appear as teletype t ext. The text is shown in a monospaced
typeface font.
