For the past couple of years, it has been driving us crazy wondering where and how the <b> tag came from (we tested it using copy/paste method from Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, etc. both app and online web-based, etc. and so far no luck) and finally found out the main source. We believe it must be the Rich Text Editor.
That video showed how it was converted from <strong> to <b> tag for a very strange reason.
The reason why we chose not to use <b> tag is this (also from Siteimprove, too): The bold tag <b> versus the strong tag <strong> will look exactly the same when viewing the content in a browser but provide a different experience to screen reader users. When something is bolded in a piece of text using the <b> tag, it will come to no benefit for users using screen readers.
I hope this can iron out the bug issue for 5.4 release.
Thank you for letting us know. It may take be possible to configure whether the strong or b tag is used in the tinymce settings, so I will double check on that and get back to you.
Thank you for your prompt response. Ok, please let me know about the setting. Also, ot always has been <strong> tag as far as I’m concerned. This is the first time I’ve seen <b> tag in rich text editor.
Let me know if this does not work - there are a few different locations that you can apply this change. Make sure to also clear the browser cache with CTRL + F5 when testing it in CM1.
It may actually be better to apply that code from my previous post to the \rx_resources\tinymce\config\customer_config_override.json, as the simple_config.js file may get overwritten after a later upgrade.
When I updated the new code "formats": { "bold" : {"inline" : "strong"}}, in \rx_resources\tinymce\config\customer_config_override.json. It did not work. It is still showing b tag, not strong tag. This is what I did:
When I was testing on tiny.cloud RTE and I noticed it converted B tag to STRONG tag. Wasn’t sure if there’s a code or something that we are missing?
There’s another issue - the custom widgets that have RTE in it - it doesn’t show our latest modification, just the default settings. Is there a way to implement the latest modification changes for custom widget RTE, too?
The config below includes the options needed to replace the b tag and i tag with strong and em. I understand that in your case, the config is currently not swapping b tags as you wanted, so there may be another setting that is affecting this - we will need to look further into it. This config should also remove the elements you mentioned from the formats menu.

The enclosed customer_config_override.json file should be placed into this directory: <CM1-Install>/rx_resources/tinymce/config/
