Text Styling

My intent was originally to use this page to test a bunch of HTML tags to do with text styling and see what Rational Policy Tester reported back. It has now become a page that allows me to test how ATs handle a bunch of text styles.

Italics and bold

This line shows the use of bold instead of strong.
This line shows the use of italics instead of emphasis.

This shows the use of strong.
This shows the use of emphasis.

This line shows that when I define the term HTML, the standard markup language of the web, it is also presented in italics.
Variables, which can be any old string such as banana, also show up in italics.
When I'm attributing a citation made up by Mike Gower - even my name can be in italics.

Edits

This line shows how I can insert text.
This line shows how I can delete text.
This shows how no longer relevant infromation can be struckthrough changed.

Other visual styling

I can achieve plain old underlining, which is a pretty old school way of incidating a whole bunch of stuff with a typewriter that can be better done using other HTML elements.
The following text is not as large as the rest of the sentence.
I can use the abbreviation tag on a word like Mr., then I can add the title attribute to put a dotted underline under and rollover Mr
Code can be represented for any element such as small or abbr, the two preceding styles used. (Note that I have not used the code element on most of this page to isolate different styles on each line.)
A related style is the use of the element sample, which lets you show Hello, World and other computer output.
I can indicate keys like Spacebar, as well as information input into a system, such as exit using the keyboard element.
The supscript and superscript elements let me properly show H2O and E=mc2.
I can mark a visual highlighting equivalent to emphasize something.

Quotations

The following lines use different techniques for quotes
"This line uses only quotation marks."
This uses Q tags for both double and single quotations.
“ This line uses ‘smart quotes’ for both the single and double quote portions, based on the 8220, 8221, 8216 and 8217 decimal numeric character references.”
“This line uses ‘Latin-1 Entities’ (ldquo, rdquo, lsquo,rsquo) for right and left double quotes”
This line uses the BLOCKQUOTE tag. I have added in more than 10 words, as that is considered the trigger for ensuring it is coded with a BLOCKQUOTE tag instead of Q.
