Tag, you’re it! The Dreamweaver Tag Chooser
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Web authors have a wide variety of HTML or XHTML tags to work with when creating Web pages. In addition to common tags like <p>, <ul> or <strong>, there are lesser-known, but still useful ones such as those below:
| HTML/XHTML Element | Use |
|---|---|
| <acronym> | An acronym |
| <cite> | A citation to a document such as a book or magazine |
| <code> | A code sample |
| <dfn> | A term that is being defined |
| <q> | A short, inline quote |
| <sub>,<sup> | A subscript and superscript |
There are dozens of similarly useful and perfectly valid elements available for use. Some of them, such as <code>, have a default style in most browsers (<code> will render in a monospaced font). Others such as <acronym> have no default style. However, you can use the tags as hooks to add your own style by redefining the look of the element using CSS.
