Generally, if something is deprecated that means it is disapproved. 

Specifically in HTML, if a tag or an attribute is deprecated that means they are allowed but not recommended to use and they are replaced with some newer version which can accomplish the task which the previous one was doing. 

 

e. g, 

<acronym> tag is replaced with <abbr> tag. 

<font> tag is replaced by CSS styles.
