Strong and Em tags in multiline text in Content Fragments
Use-case:
editing multiline text in RTE components while meeting requirements for WCAG 2.0
Current/Experienced Behavior:
b/i/u buttons create <b>,<i>,<u> tags which have no semantic meaning
Improved/Expected Behavior:
in order to convey meaning to users using assistive technology, we should be able to add <strong> and <em> instead of <b> and <i>. <u> on the other hand has little semantic value and will likely confuse users who will think it is a link. it should probably be removed or replaced with something with similar semantic meaning like the <mark> element
