Description Michael M. 2012-08-24 10:00:24 UTC 
Like it is done for deprecated attributes (function fixDeprecatedAttributes in Sanitizer.php), deprecated HTML tags should be replaced by CSS, too.

These tags are (see URL):
* big
* center
* font
* strike
* tt 

For big, strike and tt this should be easy. font requires the obsolete attributes to be converted to CSS.
I'm not sure, whether it is actually possible to replace center,

<center><table><tr><td>a</td></tr></table></center>

centers the table (tested in Firefox), but something like

<div style="text-align:center; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;"><table><tr><td>a</td></tr></table></div>

doesn't.

The changed tags should be given an extra CSS class in order to be able to address them using CSS.

To center a table:
style="margin: 1em auto 1em auto;"

Marking this as invalid since $wgCleanupPresentationalAttributes was removed on
