HTML and semantics
In principle, the role of HTML is to provide semantics (meaning).
In practice, HTML is a mix of semantic and non-semantic elements.
Semantic HTML
Semantic HTML refers to HTML that is entirely semantic (or perhaps "very semantic with acceptable compromises").
Bold versus strong
Earlier versions of HTML specified a bold element, to make text display in boldface.
HTML 4 also specified a strong element, intended to replace the bold element.
Both elements are valid in HTML5.
Italic versus emphasis
Earlier versions of HTML specified an italic element, to make text display in italicf.
HTML 4 also specified an emphasis element, intended to replace the italic element.
Both elements are valid in HTML5.

Download and install jQuery UI
Browse the jQuery UI website:
Click the "Stable" link (in the Quick Downloads section).
- This will download a Zip file containing the jQuery UI files.
Unzip the Zip file, if necessary, to get the jQuery UI folder.
There is a first folder named jquery-ui-1.11.4 (or something similar -- version number may increase).
This folder contains a second folder with the same name, containing the jQuery UI files and subfolders. This is the actual jQuery UI folder.

Move the jQuery UI folder to your local root folder.
You can now use jQuery UI in your web pages.
