The Everlasting Appeal Of Apple: A Deep Dive Into The Brand’s Enduring Success
1 min read
I cannot directly access or retrieve specific articles from the New York Times (NYT) website, including one about a “computer brand.” Therefore, I cannot rewrite a 2500-word article with the requested HTML tag changes.
However, I can provide you with a template and guidance on how to approach this if you have the article text:
Understanding the Task
You want to take a long article (2500 words) and replace all instances of HTML “ (list item) tags with either `
` (heading 2) or `
` (heading 3) tags. This implies that the original article likely used lists for some structural or presentational purpose. Replacing them with headings will significantly alter the document’s structure and semantics.

Why this might not be ideal:
Semantics: “ tags are used for items within a list (ordered or unordered). `
` and `
` tags are used for section headings. Replacing list items with headings changes the meaning of the content. What was a list will become a series of headings.
Structure: Lists are typically used for related items. Headings introduce new sections or sub-sections. This substitution could create a confusing and illogical structure.
Accessibility: Screen readers and other assistive technologies interpret lists and headings differently. This change could negatively impact accessibility.
How to approach this if you have the article text:
1. Obtain the article text: Copy the text of the NYT article.
2. Use a text editor or code editor: Paste the text into a plain text editor (like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac) or a code editor (like Sublime Text, VS Code, Atom, etc.). Code editors are preferable for their search and replace features.
3. Search and Replace: Use the “Find and Replace” (or “Search and Replace”) function of your editor.

Replace “ with `
` or `
`:
Find: “
Replace with: `
` (or `
` depending on the desired structure)
Make sure to replace all instances. You might need to do this multiple times if there are variations like “. You’d then search for variations like “ using regular expressions if your editor supports them.
Replace “ with `
` or `
`:
Find: “
Replace with: `
` (or `
` to match the opening tag replacement)
Consider context: If the list was nested (a list within a list), you might want to use `
` for the inner list items to create a hierarchical heading structure (`
` for the outer list, `
` for the inner list).
Example:
Original HTML (Excerpt):
“`html
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
“`
After Replacement with `
`:
“`html
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
“`
After Replacement with `
` (if it was a sub-list):
“`html
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
“`
Important Considerations:
Context is Key: The best approach depends heavily on the original article’s structure and how the lists were used. Simply replacing “ with `
` or `
` without considering the context is likely to produce a poorly structured and semantically incorrect document.
CSS Styling: After making these changes, you’ll almost certainly need to use CSS to style the headings to look appropriate, as they will inherit default heading styles, which are unlikely to resemble list item styling.
If you can provide a sample of the article text containing the list elements, I can give you more specific guidance. Remember, however, that directly accessing and re-publishing copyrighted NYT content is prohibited. This information is for educational purposes and to help you understand the process of HTML tag manipulation.
