Accessibility Information & Tips
- Use semantic markup elements like <em>, <strong>, <cite>, <blockquote>, <q>, <quote>, <sub>, and <sup> when appropriate. Use <em> and <strong> to indicate structural emphasis, use <blockquote> for long quotations which may require paragraph breaks, use <q> for short inline quotations, and use <sub> and <sup> for subscripts and superscripts.
