I often wonder why was the marquee tag deprecated

    Because tags shouldn't dictate style.

    It was gone in a <blink> of an eye.

    @Demolishun Never link that hellhole of a site again. The original w3schools and all its imitators are garbage.

    @kescherRant Heh, I thought I linked w3c, doh!

    @kescherRant but there are still lots of tags that include some sort of style, like b, u, i.
    other tags have a general basic style like div is by default always width:100%

    anyway, marquee still works kinda everywhere despite being deprecated since 2008 at least

    @ZioCain Yes. That's why some sites unset any browser styles before applying their own set of CSS rules.

    Also, things like the <em>phasis tag exist.

    Em, b, u, i, even though they control style, still have a semantic meaning. They all emphasize text in some way. If only visual aspect is important use CSS. If you have something to point out differently in meaning use html.
