!! Bold vs Strong
|
|
|
|
In TW we use the term "bold" instead of "strong" because most users are used to it. ... The rendering process converts our "bold text" into the STRONG HTML element.
|
|
|
|
>The `<strong>` element is for content that is of greater importance, while the `<b>` element is used to draw attention to text without indicating that it's more important.
|
|
>https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/strong#b_vs._strong
|
|
|
|
!! Underline vs. Underscore
|
|
|
|
>Use underline to describe text formatting that puts a line under the characters. Use underscore to refer to the underscore character ( _ ).
|
|
>https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/a-z-word-list-term-collections/u/underline-vs-underscore
|
|
|
|
!! Emphasis vs Italics
|
|
|
|
>The `<em>` element represents stress emphasis of its contents, while the `<i>` element represents text that is set off from the normal prose, such as a foreign word, fictional character thoughts, or when the text refers to the definition of a word instead of representing its semantic meaning. (The title of a work, such as the name of a book or movie, should use `<cite>`.)
