I read the explanation on the W3C website but for me the definition isn’t satisfying. Can anybody paraphrase this?
As I understand, it should be used in cases when a certain part of a text references to another context, like e.g. another text part or a search string I entered.
I don’t get the examples with the quotations—where’s the referential meaning when highlighting a part of a quotation just to gather the readers’ attention or mark a part of a quotation to emphasize it?
