Comment on Beginners Guide to HTML/CSSparent

Comments

HTML describes a document semantically and using tags like <b> and <strong> is bad practice. Styling, like what results from using <b> and <strong>, should be done via css.

Well, if that's what you meant, you should have said that, instead of making false claims about what people do and don't do.

Now that we're back on track, If you're trying to make a semantic point in an article by emphasizing certain things, wouldn't you want that reflected in the HTML? Do screen readers do something special for bold-via-css or is the emphasis lost on the visually impaired?
