Presentational Elements

Presentational elements sensu lato can be divided into two groups. "Pure" presentational elements (b, i, small, …) have no semantic meaning. "Abused" presentational elements (table, blockquote, …) 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).

(This list is incomplete, please add!)

Pure:

  • b
  • basefont
  • big
  • br (when used for spacing, or when used inappropriately where a div or p would have been semantically correct)
  • center
  • font
  • hr
  • i
  • s
  • small
  • strike
  • tt
  • u
  • ...

Abused:

  • blockquote (when used for indenting text)
  • table (when used for layout)
  • ...

Presentational Attributes

(This list is incomplete, please add!)

  • align
  • alink
  • bgcolor
  • color
  • face
  • height
  • link (on body)

  • vlink
