POSH MarkupPOSH stands for Plain Old Semantic HTML. The term semantic HTML refers to the practice of using tags to describe the content that is in them. For example a paragraph should be placed inside <p> tags and a heading should be put inside the relevant heading tag (<h1> to <h6>) according to its place on the page. The exact opposite of POSH markup is to use HTML tags to achieve a particular presentational look. A common example is placing content inside <em> tags. This should only be done if you wish to place emphasis on the content, as this is what the tag means. The content could be in italics, but it doesn't have to be, and this presentational aspect should be controlled by CSS. Further ReadingHTML Dog Simplebits Quiz Markover
