Relevance of 'colgroup' and 'col' Elements

Hi, Are the 'colgroup' and 'col' elements already deprecated? Should I bother learning those?

its best to learn them so you can decide which works for you best, there are like a million ways to design using similar code. Thats the best I can do.

Honestly, it's up to you. I don't believe they are deprecated as HTML5 tries to make sure legacy HTML doesn't break your webpage. I personally have never used those elements, but it wouldn't hurt to check them out sometime and maybe practice with them to see if they are worth using for you.
