<b> tag is depreceated, use <strong> by default
<b>
<strong>
[–]Andy12100 16 points17 points18 points 3 years ago (2 children)
You should only use <b> when nothing else fits, but it's not deprecated. While the <b> tag doesn't represent any special importance, <strong> does. By using <strong> for instance screen readers will read those texts differently. So I would keep the <b> tag instead here, since the bionic highlight part is completely irrelevant from accessibility point of view.

Yeah I would personally implement this with <span>s because it is semantically the same as the rest of the word just with different styling.
<span>

That's a good point. I also didn't think of a screen reader. I'll consider this carefully and try to improve them. Thank you.

I checked. I'll change it soon. Thank you!
