Both the <span style="color: #727272;"><blink></span> and <span style="color: #727272;"><marquee></span> tags make the text content ("Baby shoes!") appear more prominent and attention-grabbing. On a normal web page, these tags only affect how the text content is displayed on screen and aren't directly shown to visitors. However they are shown here to make the six words count, albeit in a lighter shade of gray to reinforce the fact that they're not part of the text content. An interesting note: When this comic was first posted to xkcd.com, the '/' in the <span style="color: #727272;"></blink></span> tag was missing. This was fixed between the 19th and 20th of June, 2015, showing that the omission was, indeed, unintentional. |
