Re: [whatwg] What's the element for a paragraph label?
Hi Brenson:
<_span_> works great, unfortunately, plese correct me if I am wrong,
semantics of this tag have been diminished ( see _schema.org_ for
interaction microdata literature, and doubts).
labeling, even being a common practice used by developers targeting some
modern devices in opur days, it is not 'semantic' as you well mention,
and should be always nested as a child of the_ form_ tag.
To resolve your needs, I,a s mentioned, agreed _strong _will acomplish
them.
Best

Re: [whatwg] What's the element for a paragraph label?
I am guessing that he'd like a consistent way to style the terms in a
‘definition of terms’ section, the acronyms in a ‘list of acronyms’ section,
and so on.
defined terms
Fruit: delicious stuff that falls
from trees
…
acronyms
OTT: lit. Over the Top, figuratively
meaning something excessive
…
