N.B: If you click on one of the images, it will pop up in a larger zoomed in display for you.

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. The existing bold tag errors are listed with a “Submit Bulk Fixing” button, which will then update all the bold tag errors on that current page.

All fixes applied through this wizard can be reverted with the Bulk fix log. All errors hidden through this wizard are located in Exception Management.

  • Update to: the full HTML code if the fix is applied, this will change the <b> tag to a <strong> tag.

Impact

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