What is Semantic HTML ?

[Sankara Vignesh]

Semantic HTML is a coding style where the tags embody what the text is meant to convey. In semantic HTML, tags like for bold, and for italic should not be used, reason being they just represent formatting, and provide no indication of meaning or structure.

Semantic HTML or semantic markup is HTML that introduces meaning to the web page rather than just presentation. For example, a <p> tag indicates that the enclosed text is a paragraph.


This is both semantic and presentational, because people know what paragraphs are and browsers know how to display them.

Semantic HTML is the use of HTML markup just to reinforce the semantics,It can also be described as the information in webpage and the web applications rather then merely to define the presentation or the look. Semantic markup is how you can ensure the HTML that you write will be semantically meaningful and accurate.

Semantic HTML or semantic markup is HTML that introduces meaning to the web page rather than just presentation. For example, a <p> tag indicates that the enclosed text is a paragraph. This is both semantic and presentational because people know what paragraphs are, and browsers know how to display them.

On the flip side of this equation, tags such as <b> and <i> are not semantic. They define only how the text should look (bold or italic), and don't provide any additional meaning to the markup.

Examples of semantic HTML tags include:

Header tags <h1> through <h6>
<blockquote>
<code>
<em>
There are many more semantic HTML tags to use as you build a standards-compliant website.

Semantic HTML is the correct use of HTML to reinforce the meaning of content on a web page, rather than merely define its appearance. Semantically correct HTML helps search engines, screen readers, and other user devices determine the significance and context of web content.
