proper use of <cite>

I've not had a clear definition in my mind of "citation," and so have
avoided it. For example, if I suggest that the reputation of the New
York Times has suffered, is that a citation?

I suppose it really is and I should shift to <cite> and give up the
use oif a custom CSS tag such as a "title" class. However, that also
brings up a question. What is the proper format for a citation? I've
seen it underlined (Chicago, I guess), italicized, or left
unadorned. Is there a prefered format for HTML, or some consensus over
a global standard?

None. If I were writing *only* for those platforms, <em> would

Quite right. It's no fallacy that the majority of misguided web page
authors think HTML is some kind of low-grade DTP, without any regard
to underlying structure.

However, it's an admissible leap of faith to claim that because these
supporters of Sturgeon's Law are all doing it, therefore it must have
been the intention of HTML all along.

The HTML specifications do occasionally mention typical presentations
used by the then-current browsers for representing logical markups;
one might suppose that the folks who wrote that were crediting their
readers with a greater power of abstract thought than has been
justified by experience, and that they should have tried harder to
distance themselves from the implication that these mentioned visual
presentations were the One True Result of such logical markups.
How do you suppose the UA, whatever its internal rules may be, would

rules to?
What? A stressed voice, oblique font, or underlined text, are all
valid representations of emphasis, and each of those presentations
(and no doubt others which don't come to mind right now) appear in
actual browser presentations of emphasis.

And, to take another example, a valid presentation of Hn elements
would be an Overview menu. Some browsers already offer this; others
can do it with client-side scripts, bookmarklets etc.
And that's the *only* reason for the markup to exist.
Wrong. For one thing, not all client agents are browsers.
It's absurd to insist that code whose sole purpose is to give the
user agent the cues it needs to arrange the presentation isn't
"presentational ". It's like saying, "Take two aspirins" isn't a
medical instruction; it's only my compliance with that instruction
that's medical.

Not really, since I responded to your arguments. You said, for example,
<CITE> does not say "put in
italics," any more than <BLOCKQUOTE> says "indent this."
*Agreeing* with you on this point, I noted that these are presentation
*details*, which HTML should not be used to convey, and then I distinguished
the correct observation that HTML ought not to be used to convey
presentational details from the incorrect observation that "HTML is not
about presentation", which doesn't mean the same thing, and which your
examples don't contradict.

My mistake--I was misreading my thread tree. It was *you* who questioned
what meaning italics have in a browser. And I, unfortunately, interpreted
that as questioning what meaning *emphasis* has in a browser, and proceeded
from there, at which point you appeared to contradict yourself but didn't.

So let me back up: I don't know why you wrote "What meaning does italics
have in an aural browser?" We were talking about HTML, and I assume we meant
HTML as used in the recommended way--which means we're not using <i> tags.
So that was already a given for me, and I don't see why you brought the HTML
tag that directly calls for italics--<i>--into this. But as long as you did:
Does the fact that a UA may not follow through on this tag make it a
non-presentational tag? If I choose not to take the pills, does my doctor's
advice become non-medical? Even if he's aware that I might ignore him?

Funny thing, though: I had thought for quite a while that <i> was
deprecated, but now I see that it's not. Interesting, and confusing.

"HTML is not for presentation" is not the complement of "HTML is used to
establish every last presentational details for a document". I disagree with
the latter state of affairs, but it does not follow that I agree with the
former contention. That is the point I am trying to make.

The HTML specifications do occasionally mention typical presentations
used by the then-current browsers for representing logical markups;
one might suppose that the folks who wrote that were crediting their

(and no doubt others which don't come to mind right now) appear in
actual browser presentations of emphasis.


Yes. This means that, properly used, HTML doesn't convey the details of the
presentation. Again, this is not the same as "HTML is not about
presentation". If I talk with my architect about building a house, and I
tell him about my lifestyle and my possessions and my activities and my
finances, but believe it's best to leave it to him to suggest floor plans
and materials, does that mean we're not having an architectural discussion?
If it isn't, then why am I bothering to give the architect all these
details? I'll just say, "Here's money, build a house," and let him figure
out what I want.

And, to take another example, a valid presentation of Hn elements
would be an Overview menu. Some browsers already offer this; others
can do it with client-side scripts, bookmarklets etc.
And that's the *only* reason for the markup to exist.
Wrong. For one thing, not all client agents are browsers.


I don't happen to know what your, or the official, definition of "browser"
is that would make it only a subset of the class of user agents. Can you
give me a reference? I also don't know what difference it really makes in
the discussion, but I suppose it's worth knowing.
It's absurd to insist that code whose sole purpose is to give the
user agent the cues it needs to arrange the presentation isn't
"presentational ". It's like saying, "Take two aspirins" isn't a
medical instruction; it's only my compliance with that instruction
that's medical.


At the Germans say, "not everything that hobbles is an analogy".


But your reasons for rejecting analogies are anything but apparent.

The funny thing is, I've agreed with you on pretty much all the specifics
about what HTML is or isn't or should or shouldn't be used for, so as far as
I can tell the only thing left about "HTML is not about presentation" that
has a hold on you and Brian is some kind of semantic dogma.

Its meaning is defined in the HTML specifications. It's a user-agent's job
to apply that meaning how it sees fit - a search engine might note the
extra emphasis and rank a document higher for those particular keywords, or
a browser might render the text in italics or a different colour to
communicate that meaning to the end-user.

The presentation is only the mechanism to communicate the meaning from
user-agent to end-user. It's not an artifact of the markup language per

a default presentation for some element types that HTML is suddenly
"presentational ".

Some of the tags are used for those purposes as well, and obviously <meta>
tags are used predominately for these purposes. But others, such as <em> or
<blockquote>, are of little or no use for any of these purposes. And some of
these purposes are secondary. Before I worry about whether information I'm
providing can be found by others, I worry about whether they're going to be
able to use it once they find it, and presentation is an aspect of that.

will only do that when they are used for presentational purposes.

And--can HTML only be one thing? If you use it for one thing, is it a
technical violation to say it's also used for something else? How does
pointing non-presentational aspects of some HTML mean that no HTML has
presentational aspects.

*Generally*, but no always. Lynx is a conforming UA. Lynx cannot do

Here's the relevant bit that you paraphrased:

But if you keep reading, you'll find, in the *very next sentence*:

<em> does not mean italics. It means emphasized text.

Yes, that is true. Lynx does nothing at all with <em> to my
knowledge. (I've not succeeded in getting it to work, every
download I've found requires some 'assembly,' with which I have
zero skill...) The text browser emulator in Opera, which I'm told
is similar, makes no change to <em> and <strong> elements. I'll
assume Lynx behaves the same.

So in fact, you cannot make italic text in such a browser. No way
no how. While the reasons why differ, <em> is to Lynx as <q> is
to IE - an ignored bit of markup when it comes time to render.
But - if Lynx *did* do italics, wouldn't it make sense for it to
do so in this case?

My statement should have had the words "visual browsers" in it.
That was an omission, I intended to include that.

What I'm suggesting is this - italics/underlining (analogous in
meaning in text, historically) and boldface are standard
paper-printing styles. Italics has long been used to emphasize,
as well as do other things. Printed italics and spoken emphasis
have been analogous for quite some time. (While italics might not
be emphasized when spoken in every case, when transcribing speech
one would generally use italics for emphasized words if it is
available.)

It seems to me - and if anyone can point me to contrasting facts,
I'd welcome it - that while what you say is true:
<em> does not mean italics. It means emphasized text.


.... it is also true that italics has long meant emphasized text.
It's also true that of all the visual UA's I've ever heard of
that make any distinction at all with regards to <em> and
<strong>, all use italics and boldface respectively. And as I
mentioned, even the W3C suggests that that would be the general
way to express those elements visually, if you're going to do it
at all.

So <em> really has one of three end effects on one's content. 1)
It renders it visually as italics.2) It has no effect at all. 3)
It creates audible emphasis on the element's contents, which as
I've said is analogous to italics.

What you're not saying, but appears to be the crux of your
argument, is that there is no connection between emphasized words
and italicized words. Yet there clearly is.

That's why I argue that presentation is not so easily divorced
from meaning. While the attempt is noble, it fails to account for
the fact that humans *do* associate the two in some cases.
Colors, font sizes and faces, and other presentation have at best
vague implications of expression of content. But the
emphasis/italics connection cannot be so easily brushed aside.

Let me put it this way - if you are quoting inline, do you use
the <q> markup? If so, you will not have quotes around the quote
in IE. If you add quotes but do not use the tag, you are not
marking it for meaning. If you use both, many poor viewers will
see extra quotes. If that bothers you in the slightest, you *are*
concerned with the presentation caused by the <q> markup.

Now, are quotes meaning or presentation? In their absence, you
cannot easily discern a quote.

Is italics (or boldface) meaning or presentation? In their
absence, you cannot discern emphasis at all.

My point is simply that italics are as meaningful as quotes, and
while their absence is not quite as disruptive to the reader, it
is still absent. If all browsers and speech readers did not
render <em>, I charge that nobody would bother using it - similar
to the state of affairs with the noticeable absence of <q> in
source codes, when only one admittedly widespread browser does
not support it.
