Some posts, pages, and comments still use b and i tags, unfortunately.

Converts and to and , and and to and . It works in the non-editor view (normal view) of the posts, pages, and comments.

HTML Techniques for Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 recommends that strong and em should be used to denote emphasis instead of b and i. This is because screen readers (used by blind people, etc. to browse the web) process only strong and em, not b and i.
