freeCodeCamp Reveals `<i>` Tag Has Actual Purpose, Devs Still Using It As
FreeCodeCamp's Responsive Web Design certification has released a new set of theory lessons focusing on nuanced semantic elements in HTML. The lessons explore the proper use of emphasis and idiomatic text elements, highlighting the difference between the i and em elements. The i element is used to convey alternative voice or mood, foreign idioms, and technical terms, as demonstrated in an example using the French phrase "je ne sais quoi". In contrast, the em element is used to emphasize important text. The strong element is also discussed as a semantic HTML element that emphasizes significant or urgent text. Additionally, the lessons cover description lists, which are useful for presenting terms and definitions in an organized format, such as product specifications and FAQs. These lessons provide valuable knowledge for web developers, emphasizing the importance of semantic HTML in creating accessible and meaningful web content. The freeCodeCamp certification is a highly regarded program in the industry.
