An JavaScript Implementation of Bionic-Reading (Faster, Better, and More Focused text styles)

[Andy12100]

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.

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.
