<expand|tmdoc-title|Content-based tags>
8
The simplest examples of structure in a text are content-based tags. In
9
<apply|menu|Text|content tags> you see a list of them. Content based tags
10
indicate that a given portion of text is of a particular kind or that it
11
serves a specific purpose. For instance, important text should be marked
12
using the <markup|strong> tag. Its default rendering uses a bold type face,
13
like in this <strong|strong text>. However, strong text might be rendered
14
in a different way according to the document style. For instance, strong
15
text may be rendered in a different color on transparencies for
16
presentations. Here follows a short list of the most common content-based
17
tags and their purpose:
