ugly……

hr

, no longer “horizontal rule”, is a thematic break, between paragraphs, for example, like those found in many a chapter of many a book.

small

, used for small print. Arguably a fair point, “small print” has taken on a meaning beyond “print that is small”.

s

, no longer “strikethrough”, is for text that is no longer correct (eg,

this is <s>presentational, not</s> meaningful

). Hmm. OK. Maybe.

del

still seems fine to most normals, though.

u

, no longer “underline”, is for text that is unarticulated. It’s also “useless” but bonus point for the abbreviation remaining intact.

i

, no longer “italic”, is for text in an alternate voice or representing a different quality of text. So, like, differently emphasized, then (see note below).

b

, no longer “bold”, stands for “text to which attention is being drawn without conveying importance or suggesting an alternative voice” (and even that’s paraphrasing).

b

also stands for “bollocks.”

sub

and

sup

are still subscript and superscript and yet, at the same time, they’re somehow not presentational anymore.
