text formatting deprecated?

[lread]

I just added a test section to cover asciidoctor's handling of coloring and affecting text with styling: f675886 but maybe this type of thing has been deprecated by asciidoctor? https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#migrate-deprecated

Character attributes to apply formatting directly. Usually better to apply a role, then apply the formatting based on that role by using a stylesheet.

I thought I was using roles, but since asciidoctor user manual provides no direct example of deprecated syntax, I'm not sure what they mean.
