Element	Description
`<b>`	The HTML Bring Attention To element (`<b>`) is used to draw the reader's attention to the element's contents, which are not otherwise granted special importance.
`<u>`	The HTML Unarticulated Annotation Element (`<u>`) represents a span of inline text which should be rendered in a way that indicates that it has a non-textual annotation.

Some people naming things think they are very cute. Mozilla, you know that  stands for “bold” and  stands for “underline”. I know that  stands for “bold” and  stands for “underline”. You, reading this post right now, probably previously knew that  stands for “bold” and  stands for “underline”.

What's next, calling  the “Indicate distinction element”?

To be clear, I'm not actually mad at whoever renamed these things, and I get the reason why, but it does seem rather silly.

They really, really, really don't.

Non-standard
This feature is non-standard and is not on a standards track. Do not use it on production sites facing the Web: it will not work for every user. There may also be large incompatibilities between implementations and the behavior may change in the future.

Obsolete
This feature is obsolete. Although it may still work in some browsers, its use is discouraged since it could be removed at any time. Try to avoid using it.

The HTML Multi-Column Layout element (<multicol>) was an experimental element designed to allow multi-column layouts and must not be used. It never got any significant traction and is not implemented in any major browsers. It's covered here only to warn you off in case you stumble on it in any other documentation.

Do not use this! In order to implement a multi-column layout, you should be using the regular HTML elements, like <div> in conjunction with CSS columns.
