  Since HTML5 is mature and all the themes are in HTML5, the list of allowed HTML tags (https://en.support.wordpress.com/code/) should be updated to support the new HTML5 semantic tags (e.g. https://www.w3schools.com/html/html5_semantic_elements.asp). Specifically, what prompted this request was a need for the “mark” tag.

  Support for those tags have been added, so you should be able to use them now.

  Thank you for the quick turnaround time! I’ve just switched over the relevant part of my code to use mark and it indeed does not get stripped out.
