In my studies I found HTML <embed> Tag. Is this used in the real world because you have
<img> tag to display a picture <iframe> tag = to display HTML <video> tag = to display video <audio> tag = to display audio |

You may want to use DEL here, Christian...
 https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/We...L/Element/embed I don't find it in the current spec, but that's probably because I don't know where to look. It's so darn hard to read. What happened with the nice list of elements the specs used to have? But I googled this up. https://www.w3.org/TR/2011/WD-html5-author-...ed-element.html So I'd say EMBED has become kosher. |

It appears to be used for general undefined plugins.  But note that Flash (in their code example) is no longer supported by browsers. |

Thanks for the link. I guess I've just looked at w3c. That's another thing. HTML5 is spread all over the place. I miss the old specs. Didn't understand them at first either, but I learnt to and then they became crystal clear. Well, most of the time.
 Good use of DEL there!  |

Come on! Surely I'm a little more fantastic? And prettier! Just look at our avatars! And I haven't needed to use DEL. Not since you came here anyway.
