Right!
BTW: (looks like DreamWeaver tags to me)
What I was saying is that <strong> & <em> are available tags in
DreamWeaver
without having to add them

|
| <strong> and <em> are the SEMANTIC HTML 4.1 tags for <b> and <i>, and
have
| nothing to do with Dreamweaver (which by the way does not use any
| proprietary HTML tags, i.e., tags that are understood only by
Dreamweaver).
| Their advantage is that they improve ACCESSABILITY characteristics of
your
| page. A screen reader knows how to *read* a <strong> tag, in the way
the
| voice sounds. It does not know how to read a <b> tag.
|
| > In CSS isn't em a unit of measurement??
|
| Yes - it is a unit of measurement in CSS and it corresponds to the width
of
| the "m" character in the browser's current default font face and size.
It
| is a relative metric, which means that it will expand in dimension as
you
| change the browser's text settings from SMALLEST to LARGEST, for
example.
| It is a 'hangover' unit from metal printing press days.
|
| But <em> is also an HTML 4 tag in addition to being used as a font
metric.
| It would be used <em>like this</em> to provide emphasis to a screen
reader's
| voice when reading this passage, as opposed to the <i> tag, which is
only
| read as "i".
|
| In the case of your example,
|
| > em {
| > background: Blue;
| > font: italic 1.2em "MS Sans Serif", Geneva, sans-serif;
| > color: White;
| > }
|
| the <em> tag's contents would be rendered by the browser in italics, 1.2
| times wider than the "m" character, in "MS Sans Serif" face, and colored
| white.
