Introduction

The Fix bold wizard provides you with “bold” errors for the course and updates the formatting of bold text into the correct HTML tag, from the <b> tag to a <strong> tag to help fix them quickly.

 

The <b> (bold) element, or tag, provides no emphasis of text for non-sighted readers. Use the correct <strong> tag instead.

Impact of using b instead of strong

The <b> (bold) element only conveys appearance, whereas the <strong> element conveys meaning to all.
