A deprecated element or attribute is one that has been outdated by newer constructs. Deprecated elements may become obsolete in future versions of HTML . Authors should avoid using deprecated elements and attributes. The W3C recommends in Checkpoint 11.2 that deprecated elements and attributes not be used, mostly because they force styles and design upon a user instead of using style sheets that allow a user to override the default style. A listing of deprecated elements and attributes can be found at: http://www.w3c.org/TR/REC-html40/index/elements.html and http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/index/attributes.html.
Pertaining to an entity, such as a programming element or feature, that is supported but no longer recommended, and that might become obsolete.
A feature of a language, eg certain tags and attributes in HTML, that have been dropped from the official language specification. In terms of HTML deprecated tags will continue to function in older browsers but there is no guarantee they will be supported in standards-compliant browsers fo the future, hence they should be avoided.
A term used by the W3C to suggest people don't use elements that are defined in their specifications, but which are not likely to be included in future revisions because there are better ways of achieving the same result.
A feature is that is obsolete or replaced by a newer feature and should no longer be used.
Any method, class or variable marked as 'deprecated' may not be available in future releases of GTK+, and so should not be used in new code. Usually, deprecated functionality has already been replaced with something better. For a list of deprecated items in PHP-GTK 2 and their replacements, see the Deprecated Widgets page.
Obsolete or replaced, and should not be used.
a feature marked as deprecated is in the process of being removed from this recommendation. Portable documents should not use features marked as deprecated.
A feature marked as deprecated is one which is considered obsolete, and whose use is discouraged. Generally CSS provides better features. Transitional Document types allow the use of deprecated features. (The ‘Strict’ type does not.)
An API item that is considered obsolete and on its way out, usually in favor of something better. Usually, though the item may have been originally included as part of an API, the use of it is no longer advised, and slowly support for the item is phased out.
