Re: highlighting code changes on an html page

Simply use the native INS and DEL tags like:
<p>Old price <del>$20.00</del> New price: <ins>$15.00</ins></p>
I hope these meet your needs.
Be sure to include some instruction that SR users will notice advising
them to change JAWS scheme to proffreading with attributes
(JAWS+Alt+S). NVDA reads them by default.
These are supported in FF, Chrome and IE but not Edge.
Thanks and best wishes,
Sailesh
