wait did they really retcon <b> as the "bring attention to" element lol https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/b
<b>: The Bring Attention To element - HTML: HyperText Markup Language | MDN

The <b> HTML element is used to draw the reader's attention to the element's contents, which are not otherwise granted special importance. This was formerly known as the Boldface element, and most browsers still draw the text in boldface. However, you should not use <b> for styling text or granting importance. If you wish to create boldface text, you should use the CSS font-weight property. If you wish to indicate an element is of special importance, you should use the <strong> element.

@matthewmcvickar I have only ever read _The Visible Word_ (which is fantastic) but I assign https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/13534640903208834 in my classes to great effect (the PDF specifically—the HTML conversion messes up the whole argument haha)
