Thank you! Actually, before making this change, I started reading up on the HTML5 spec on the b, strong, i, em tags, and now I am confused as ever. Facts: - b and i are not deprecated - b and strong are both valid but their use depends on the writer's context (but Org mode has just one mark for either "*") - i and em are both valid but their use depends on the writer's context (but Org mode has just one mark for either "/"). >From "em" docs[em], in the NOTE section there: > The em element isn=E2=80=99t a generic "italics" element. Sometimes, text= is intended to stand out from the rest of the paragraph, as if it was in a= different mood or voice. For this, the i element is more appropriate. See the b tag docs[b] and i tag docs[i], and this W3C FAQ on using b and i tags[faq] for more. *Summary* (/see what I did there?/): I guess there's no need to change what "*" and "/" do right now in ox-html, as there doesn't seem "one right way" to do things here. And folks strongly wanting to use and for bold and italic can customize org-html-text-markup-alist. HTML experts, please chime in.
