The Main Stage

The first few words of an article in The Economist.
I work for the guy who invented the Web. His name is Tim. He's now the director of the World Wide Web Consortium which is hosted by MIT and INRIA. I'm based at the INRIA site in southern France, but often telecommute to work. I spend most of my time developing and promoting style sheets. Style sheets describe how documents are presented on screens, in print, or perhaps how they are pronounced. In 1994 I proposed the concept of Cascading Style Sheets which are now, some years later, implemented by major browsers. You can read about it in a book I co-authored. I'm interested in the functional, esthetic and political aspects of the Web -- in particular how Web documents are authored and presented. I'm a graduate of the MIT Media Lab which did not invent the Web. My claim to fame is that I'm mentioned in David Siegel's diary. Off work, I spend time with my kids. We all like to paint. Other interests include pipe organs. I plan to build one myself, and I'm looking for a pipe organ kit. Among the composers I enjoy the most is Anton Bruckner (try his 9th symphony, 2nd movement!) and Carl Nielsen (try his 5th symphony -- or visit his museum!).

Amplified Music

Amplifiers up to 300W or 90dB are welcome.
Of course on some level I realized it was a known-plaintext attack.
Did you notice the subtle joke in the joke on panel 4?
I didn't want to believe. But I couldn't admit it until I saw for myself.
(Emphasis mine.) I thought that was great. It's so pedantic, yet it explains everything neatly.



Kittens 'adopted' by pet rabbit

Six abandoned kittens have found an unexpected new mother figure — a pet rabbit.
Veterinary nurse Melanie Humble took the three-week-old kittens to her Aberdeen home.
Consider the following quote:
Look around and you will find, no-one's really colour blind.
As we can tell from the spelling of the word, the person writing this quote is clearly not American.
♥: Heart, Cœur. ☘: Shamrock, Trèfle. ✶: Star, Étoile. These examples show how changing the stress emphasis changes the meaning. First, a general statement of fact, with no stress: Cats are cute animals.
By emphasizing the first word, the statement implies that the kind of animal under discussion is in question (maybe someone is asserting that dogs are cute): Cats are cute animals.
Moving the stress to the verb, one highlights that the truth of the entire sentence is in question (maybe someone is saying cats are not cute): Cats are cute animals.
By moving it to the adjective, the exact nature of the cats is reasserted (maybe someone suggested cats were mean animals): Cats are cute animals.
Similarly, if someone asserted that cats were vegetables, someone correcting this might emphasize the last word: Cats are cute animals.
By emphasizing the entire sentence, it becomes clear that the speaker is fighting hard to get the point across. This kind of stress emphasis also typically affects the punctuation, hence the exclamation mark here. Cats are cute animals!
Anger mixed with emphasizing the cuteness could lead to markup such as: Cats are cute animals!

The em element isn't a generic "italics" element. Sometimes, text is intended to stand out from the rest of the paragraph, as if it was in a different mood or voice. For this, the i element is more appropriate. The em element also isn't intended to convey importance; for that purpose, the strong element is more appropriate.

Chapter 1: The Praxis

In the following example, the name of the diagram in the caption is marked up with strong, to distinguish it from boilerplate text (before) and the description (after):


Figure 1. Ant colony dynamics. The ants in this colony are affected by the heat source (upper left) and the food source (lower right).
In this example, the heading is really "Flowers, Bees, and Honey", but the author has added a light-hearted addition to the heading. The strong element is thus used to mark up the first part to distinguish it from the latter part.

Flowers, Bees, and Honey and other things I don't understand

Here is an example of a warning notice in a game, with the various parts marked up according to how important they are:
Warning. This dungeon is dangerous. Avoid the ducks. Take any gold you find. Do not take any of the diamonds, they are explosive and will destroy anything within ten meters. You have been warned.
In this example, the strong element is used to denote the part of the text that the user is intended to read first.
Welcome to Remy, the reminder system.

  • Turn off the oven.
  • Put out the trash.
  • Do the laundry.

Example Corp today announced record profits for the second quarter (Full Disclosure: Foo News is a subsidiary of Example Corp), leading to speculation about a third quarter merger with Demo Group.
This is distinct from a sidebar, which might be multiple paragraphs long and is removed from the main flow of text. In the following example, we see a sidebar from the same article. This sidebar also has small print, indicating the source of the information in the sidebar.


In this last example, the small element is marked as being important small print.

My favorite book is The Reality Dysfunction by Peter F. Hamilton. My favorite comic is Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis. My favorite track is Jive Samba by the Cannonball Adderley Sextet.
This is correct usage:
According to the Wikipedia article HTML, as it stood in mid-February 2008, leaving attribute values unquoted is unsafe. This is obviously an over-simplification.
The following, however, is incorrect usage, as the cite element here is containing far more than the title of the work:
According to the Wikipedia article on HTML, as it stood in mid-February 2008, leaving attribute values unquoted is unsafe. This is obviously an over-simplification.
The cite element is obviously a key part of any citation in a bibliography, but it is only used to mark the title:
Universal Declaration of Human Rights, United Nations, December 1948. Adopted by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III).
A citation is not a quote (for which the q element is appropriate). This is incorrect usage, because cite is not for quotes:
This is wrong!, said Ian.
This is also incorrect usage, because a person is not a work:
This is still wrong!, said Ian.
The correct usage does not use a cite element:
This is correct, said Ian.
As mentioned above, the b element might be relevant for marking names as being keywords in certain kinds of documents:
And then Ian said this might be right, in a gossip column, maybe!.
Angela wanted to be here," whispers the publicist, but she's home cooking for a dinner party they're having later with Alice Cooper and Ray Bradbury.

Bowie STAY The man said Things that are impossible just take longer. I disagreed with him.
Here is an example with both an explicit citation link in the q element, and an explicit citation outside: The W3C page About W3C says the W3C's mission is To lead the World Wide Web to its full potential by developing protocols and guidelines that ensure long-term growth for the Web. I disagree with this mission.
In the following example, the quotation itself contains a quotation: In Example One, he writes The man said Things that are impossible just take longer. I disagreed with him. Well, I disagree even more!
In the following example, quotation marks are used instead of the q element: His best argument was ❝I disagree❞, which I thought was laughable.
In the following example, there is no quote — the quotation marks are used to name a word. Use of the q element in this case would be inappropriate. The word "ineffable" could have been used to describe the disaster resulting from the campaign's mismanagement.

David Bowie Dinah Shore Karate Lesson 1975

"David, you're a puzzle to many people," says Dinah. "There are a lot of David Bowies - but is there really only one David Bowie?"

"Well, I started as a painter," Bowie replies, "but I was a natural ham. Rock and roll is superb way of releasing that. I still act the songs rather than sing them. If the French can get away with it, I figure so can I."
"It's the policy of the self-invented man," he continues. "You strip down all the things you don't like about yourself. One thing I didn't like was being very shy. If I gave myself an alarming reputation, then I'd be faced with defending it."


Dinah:

"You know, David, we all often do interviews and put people on, but I read where you said — and now I've met your lovely wife Angela - you said 'I've never been in love, thank God'..."


David:
"I have a vast capacity to love, but the one time I found myself falling in love it was obsessive in a way. The thing about putting a person on a pedestal, it's like what people search for in God."

"You've said," Dinah continues, "that if you were an original thinker, you would not be in rock and roll."

"Oh yes," smiles David.

"But rock and roll has been very good to you," she says.
"I've been good for rock and roll," he says.
