Is there an accessibility issue? You are using style to bold text, but bolding text is almost always a semantics issue of wanting to emphasize the text, not merely make it look different just for style reasons. So someone with a screen reader would have a far more difficult time getting the correct semantics from this page.
Now I'm not saying one should go out of their way to ensure every single accessibility technology can use their site, but when the more accessible way of emphasizing text is quite easy to use, I could see saying that using style for semantics is wrong.
- talmand 11y agoIf you want to actually emphasize a bit of text then you should wrap it with the appropriate tags. Using font-weight is usually just a design decision for the visual, not necessarily to emphasize the text.
