I think a bug should be lodged with screen reader companies to support attributes and colours, and improve this area over all. As this type of concept can be used with other professions and texts.

Subject: [WebAIM] highlighting code changes on an html page

[External Email] This email was sent from outside the organisation – be cautious, particularly with links and attachments.

I am working on a web tutorial that includes code snippets.

The existing tutorial uses bold text to highlight what code has been added to the snippet. Since a screen reader wouldn't necessarily know that text is bolded, is there a "best practice" for how to indicate changed code in this scenario?

Accessibility, like security, is better when built-in from the beginning rather than bolted on at the end.
