Changes to Physical Style Tags in HTML5


Over time, a number of physical style tags were added to HTML as well. You should
avoid using them and use CSS or the semantic equivalents instead, but if you decide to
use them, HTML5 has given them semantic meanings:
<b > Text that is usually bold
<i > Text that is usually displayed as italic
<u > Text that is usually displayed as underlined
<small > Text that displays as small print
