It has been said that <b> should be used instead of <span class="...">
where the convention to use boldface is strong and derives from print
or other media.
I disagree. CSS rules indicate those conventions, whether they are
old, broad, and established ...or new, specific, and arbitrary.
A comment and some use of !important can make the distinction:
SPAN.booktitle {
/* In accordance with ancient practice, book titles
* are always italicized. No exceptions or refunds.
*/
font-style: italic !important;
}
SPAN.booktitle {
/* I like the titles to stand out a bit more. */
color: #630;
}
