== Presentational Elements ==<br />
<br />
Presentational elements sensu lato can be divided into two groups. "Deliberate" presentational elements (b, i, small, â¦) have no semantic meaning and were deliberately designed/created for presentational purposes. "Abused" presentational elements (table, blockquote, â¦) have a semantic meaning, but are abused because of their default appearance in browsers (the blockquote element could be used for indenting text, for example).<br />
