While some of these phrase elements are displayed in a similar manner to the <b>, <i>, <pre>, and <tt> elements you have already seen, they are designed for specific purposes. For example, the <em> and <strong> elements give text emphasis and strong emphasis respectively and there are several elements for marking up quotes.
Emphasized Text em Tag:
The content of an <em> element is intended to be a point of emphasis in your document, and it is usually displayed in italicized text. The kind of emphasis intended is on words such as "must" in the following sentence:
<p>You <em>must</em> remember to close elements in XHTML.</p>
Strong Text strong Tag:
The <strong> element is intended to show strong emphasis for its content; stronger emphasis than the <em> element. As with the <em> element, the <strong> element should be used only when you want to add strong emphasis to part of a document.
<p>You <strong>must</strong> remember to close elements in XHTML.</p>
Text Abbreviation abbr Tag:
You can indicate when you are using an abbreviated form by placing the abbreviation between opening <abbr> and closing </abbr> tags.
<p>I have a friend called <abbr title="Abhishek">Abhy</abbr>.</p>
Using Acronym Tag:
The <acronym> element allows you to indicate that the text between an opening <acronym> and closing </acronym> element is an acronym. When possible use a title attribute whose value is the full version of the acronyms on the <acronym> element, and if the acronym is in a different language, include an xml:lang attribute in XHTML documents.
<p>This chapter covers marking up text in <acronym title="Extensible Hypertext Markup Language">XHTML</acronym>.</p>
At present, the major browsers do not change the appearance of the content of the <acronym> element.
