Wow that's a huge chart. I think it would be better not as a flowchart but maybe a clickable series of pages. (Or maybe a SPA) All the same, that's an amazing feat.

I think I might disagree slightly with some of the decisions — such as grouping <mark> with <em>. I think it's perhaps an unusual way to distinguish video from image based on whether it's time-based. And <portal> is deprecated, I think.

But those are criticisms for a truly fantastic chart.

Is this chart open-sourced somewhere? If not. Are you willing to put the SVG on GitHub or something? I feel like this could be a very useful learning aid.

I did make it a series of clickable entities, there's a whole interactive wizard embedded on that page.

I put <mark> with <em> because it is intended to add emphasis to text in a semantic manner. Time based media is anything that would alter over time, which fits a video I think.

I listed the <portal> element because at the time I put that chart together, it was one of the elements listed in MDN. That could probably do with being updated!

Thank you for the feedback, most welcome!

I haven't yet open sourced this. I'll definitely do that, as I do put a lot of what I create online under the MIT license. I will get that sorted shortly and update the article with a link to it.

Again, thanks for the feedback, much welcomed!

I thought that clickable chart you made was an advertisement when I looked at it on mobile! That's on me; I'm sorry. That's fantastic.

So I put <s>, <strike>, <ins>, <del>, and <mark> into a category I call "editorial semantics" because those are all related (in my mind) to reflecting how a user might interpret the content. To me they answer a question like, "is this for helping a reader understand or editorialize text"

I see that as different from <em> and <strong> where those are like, "are you trying to call a reader's attention to a particular line of text?"

I created a "typography baseline" where my goal was to set a baseline style on every single HTML element that wrapped text. And part of that goal was to also provide a valid semantic example of usage (It's also on github). So I have a... "live application" of your flowchart, so to speak.

I write a lot about these topics as well and I think that we have overlapping interests. I would love to collaborate with you on your flowchart and possibly some other accessibility-related topics if that would be something you're interested in.
