I thought you were going to use semantic mark-up?

I'm obviously not getting the meaning you're trying to convey. I thought 'semantic' was a program that puts in bolds and italics for those who don't self-code in LJ.

But, yes, I want to be accessible-compliant. I'm just trying to figure out the easiest method of achieving that goal. If something is 'bad form', I won't do it, but I have to ask to learn.


Okay, I think I get what you're saying. But when I read fanfiction, I don't pay attention to whether something is a 'cite' or a 'quote'. It's irrelevant to the story, and I don't expect other readers to care, either. (Although I can see where it would be important on an informational web-page.) So should I stick to the <span-code for non-emphasized italics, and <em> when I want the emphasis?

Thanks for the extra links; I'll add them to my study line-up.
