Muddiest Point 8

Muddiest Point for 11/01

Jiepu recommended we use tags like paragraph rather than break line because of a greater semantic accuracy, and in the readings on XML it seems that semantic accuracy is something developers strive for when refining markup language systems. However, I noticed that in many examples comparing XML to HTML, that accuracy came with a much greater level of complication. How do the benefits of semantic accuracy outweigh the increases in complexity, and at what point would a higher level of simplicity rather than semantics be preferred?

  1. Oh sorry for confusing you, my original point is, when make a paragraph in HTML, it is recommended to use paragraph tag rather than breakline tag, I didn't mean to generalize it.
