Are you kidding? Font tags are the best things SINCE css. Hello css, I want to have a quick colour change for my text, I dont want to have to create a whole new class just for one colour change or one font change.
FONT tags are STILL a great tool. I cant seem to understand why people cant accept this. More so, a lot of new people or people who dont know how to use CSS will WANT to use font tags. Its like me saying we arent going to give pencils to primary school children anymore because pens and white out are far more seperior. |
Um...No. Font tags are extremly outdated. They cloudup the markup and create inaccessible areas. If you are changing the colour of your text then there must be a reason. This reason should be
semantically marked up adnd not just coourfully marked up. If for example the colour change was to emphasis it more then a strong or em tag should be used. A style can then be applied to this later on.
All font tags do it physically changed the markup, and the problem with that is that markup needs to be semantic and not physical in nature, this is to ensure that both humans and computers can understand the markup, and to ensure that the markup can be transferred across several different kinds of computers, operating systems, browsers etc.
If the web is ever going to become better that it is then semantic markup must grow, although more people and machines to access and understand the content.
