Are tags like <b> <i> <font color=""> depracated?Do we have to use <span font-weight="bold"> instead?Thanks

whole font -tag is deprecated<b> and <i> are not yet, but they are planned to be as deprecated in future.use CSS with Your fonts.Add this style-block Your document head-part (or external CSS-file without style tags):
<style type="text/css"><!--.bold_red{font-weight: bold;color: red;background-color: inherit;}.bold{font-weight: bold;}--></style>  

in body part:<span class="bold_red">Bold and red</span><div class="bold">Bold in here</div>Look, there is very good tutorial: :)http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_font.asp

A small correction on raimo's post: the <b> and <i> tags, as well as the <u> tag and some other are already deprecated in XHTML's strict doctype. Scince XHTML 1.1 and future versions would come only in strict doctypes, we say those tags are deprecated already.The presentational attributes (like blogsmith's font-weight attribute) are also unavaiable for those strict doctypes.

Is there a tutorial where I can go to learn them? Something like the HTML tutorial. I don't think I have seen them.

Once you have learnt the stuff at W3 schools these are handy sites too.http://css.maxdesign.com.au/index.htmhttp://www.alistapart.com/topics/code/css/

hmm? <b> and <i> are still in XHTML 1.1, if I can believe W3C? :)Those tags are not marked as deprecated (yet)?http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/doctype.htmlXHTML 1.1 presentation module includes b, big, hr, i, small, sub, sup and tt tags.But <u>, <s> etc. HTML deprecated stuffs are already gone out in XHTML 1.1,and in XHTML 2 <b> and <i> are not existing anymore, so b and i will be setted as a deprecated "soon".http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml2/elements.html
