Text Formatting & Inline Tags
Is chapter me hum HTML ke text formatting aur inline tags ko detail me samjhenge — sirf syntax nahi, balki real-world SEO use cases ke saath.
Text formatting ka sahi use readability improve karta hai, Google ko context deta hai aur accessibility ko strong banata hai.
Inline Tags Kya Hote Hain?
Inline tags same line ke andar kaam karte hain. Ye text ke chhote parts ko highlight, emphasize ya annotate karte hain bina layout todhe.
Info:
SEO aur accessibility me inline tags ka role
block tags se zyada important hota hai.
<strong> vs <b>
<strong> – Semantic Importance
<strong> tag browser aur search engine
dono ko batata hai ki ye text
important hai.
Real-World SEO Example:
Blog intro, key benefits, important keywords
ya product highlights ke liye <strong> best hota hai.
<b> – Visual Bold Only
<b> tag sirf visual weight deta hai,
koi semantic meaning nahi.
Warning:
Important keywords ke liye <b> use karna
SEO point of view se weak hota hai.
<em> vs <i>
<em> – Emphasis with Meaning
<em> tag emphasis dikhata hai
aur screen readers isse special tone me read karte hain.
SEO Use Case:
Warnings, instructions, conditions aur CTA statements
me <em> helpful hota hai.
<i> – Italic Styling
<i> stylistic ya contextual text ke liye hota hai.
Other Useful Formatting Tags
<u> – Underline
Underline sirf styling ke liye hota hai, lekin links ke jaise lag sakta hai.
<mark> – Highlight Important Text
Search result highlighting, FAQs aur tutorials me common hai.
SEO Use Case:
Featured snippets aur on-page search highlighting
ke liye <mark> effective hota hai.
<small> – Secondary Information
Less important content jaise disclaimer, copyright ya side notes ke liye.
<sub> & <sup>
Educational, scientific aur technical content ke liye useful.
<del> & <ins>
Updates, price drops aur revisions dikhane ke liye.
SEO Tip:
Frequent updates trust aur freshness signal dete hain.
Semantic vs Visual Formatting (SEO View)
| Semantic | Visual |
|---|---|
| <strong>, <em>, <mark> | <b>, <i>, <u> |
| Meaning + Context | Only appearance |
| SEO & Accessibility friendly | No SEO signal |
Jahan meaning ho → semantic tags Jahan sirf design ho → visual tags
Common SEO Mistakes
- Har keyword ko bold karna
- Semantic tags ko ignore karna
- Over-highlighting text
- Formatting ko ranking factor samajhna
Warning:
Formatting SEO support karta hai,
replace nahi.
Content quality sabse important hai.
