Presentational Elements
Presentational elements sensu lato can be divided into two groups. "Deliberate" presentational elements (b, i, small, …) have no semantic meaning and were deliberately designed/created for presentational purposes. "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).
Deliberate
Deprecated:
- basefont
- center
- font
- hr
- s
- strike
- tt
- u
Frames:
- frame
- frameset
- iframe
Strict but mostly presentational:
- b
- br (when used for spacing, or when used inappropriately where a div or p would have been semantically correct)
- big
- i
- small
- sub
- sup
Abused
- blockquote (when used for indenting text)
- table (when used for layout)
