'''[[Semantic]] HTML''' is the use of [[HTML]] markup to reinforce the [[semantics]], or meaning, of the information in [[Web page|web pages]] and [[web application]]s rather than merely to define its [[Model–view–presenter|presentation or look]]. Semantic HTML is processed by traditional [[web browser]]s as well as by many other [[user agent]]s. [[Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] is used to suggest its presentation to human users.
