Hi Hello maintainers, We are planning to migrate all templated pages on gnu.org to HTML5 in order to improve accessibility. But before doing this, deprecated tags such as <tt>, <acronym> and <big> need to be removed.
The home page of Hello contains <tt>. I got rid of it, and took this opportunity to make other minor changes: * Replace <tt> with quotes; * Use <kbd> for commands and <code> for directories, program names, etc. * Rewrite some sentences to make link texts more meaningful (no URL: screen readers spell them letter by letter). * Replace http with https where possible. * Remove "http://www.gnu.org"; in local URL. * Update to the current boilerplate, and limit line width. A diff is attached. If you agree with the changes but don't have time to commit them right now, I will gladly do it. Best regards, Thérèse
