I would it explain as follows:
- Anything for the sole purpose of influancing the looks of the content =
is =
a presentational element; For example (tags) <b>, <i> and <u>.
- All the rest is structural, although in graphical browsers they do =
influance the looks too; For example (tags) <strong> and <em>.
The structural elements do what the phrase suggests: they provide =
structure. They are (in a way) semantic. A paragraph being a paragraph, =
a =
list being a list, a heading being a heading.
