There are two types of text-formatting tags in HTML, logical and physical. Logical tags define the meaning or purpose of the affected text. Physical tags control the exact appearance of the text. 2, record 2, English, - physical%20tag

To change the appearance of a set of characters within text, you can use one of two kinds of tags: logical style tags, which indicate the way the text is used (emphasis, citation, definition), and physical style tags, which indicate exactly the way the text is to be formatted (boldface, underline). 2, record 2, English, - physical%20tag

Les étiquettes physiques indiquent simplement l'apparence choisie pour un texte, comme en gras ou en italique. ll est bien naturel, dans un logiciel de traitement de texte, d'indiquer quand le texte devrait être en gras ou en italique. Mais les créateurs de pages en HTML devraient utiliser les étiquettes logiques plutôt que physiques lorsque cela est possible. 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9tiquette%20physique

Là où le marqueur physique n'effectue qu'une seule-et-unique-mise en forme, le marqueur logique est, lui, en mesure d'appliquer plusieurs styles (par exemple, caractères italiques soulignés provenant d'une police non proportionnelle). 3, record 2, French, - %C3%A9tiquette%20physique

There are two types of text-formatting tags in HTML, logical and physical. Logical tags define the meaning or purpose of the affected text. Physical tags control the exact appearance of the text. Whenever possible, using logical tags is recommended. Logical tags let individual browsers determine the best way to achieve the intended result. In most browsers, for example, the <EM> (emphasis) tag and the <I> (italics) tag produce the same result. But a browser that "reads" text out loud to those with sight limitations might interpret <EM> as a slight increase in volume and interpret <I> as a change in intonation or ignore it completely. 2, record 3, English, - logical%20tag
