Consider changing code tags to regular text for dimension values in "Site Icon" help text

[juanfra]

The Site Icon help text uses <code> tags around dimension values, which is probably not needed given the context.

This shows up in two places (​one and ​two). The dimensions are just regular measurements in help text, so they don't need the monospace treatment.

I'd propose to wrap them in <strong> if the objective is to add prominence. Or avoid any markup at all if we don't want to be really highlighting these values.

[57713] replaced strong tags with code, though that was before [58927] replaced × with 'by'.

Thanks for the ticket! I think these can be changed back to <strong> now that × has been replaced with 'by' (as noted above).

Thank you, sounds good to me.

Tested.

In Appearance → Customize → Site Identity, the Site Icon help text displays the dimension values as regular text ("512 by 512 pixels") instead of using <code> styling. The change appears to be applied and the help text looks consistent.

Testing using WordPress Playground with PR #11166.

Environment:

• Tested via: WordPress Playground (​https://playground.wordpress.net/?core-pr=11166)
• WordPress: trunk (7.0)
• PHP: 7.4.33
• Browser: Chrome

Test: Settings → General (options-general.php)

1. Navigate to Settings > General
2. Observe the Site Icon help text

Result: ✓ PASS
The dimension values 512 by 512 are now correctly rendered as bold (<strong>) instead of monospace code font (<code>). The help text reads cleanly: "It should be square and at least 512 by 512 pixels."

Note: WordPress 7.0 default block theme does not expose the classic Customizer, so class-wp-customize-manager.php change was verified via code review — the pattern is identical to the confirmed working change in options-general.php.

Overall: ✓ Issue resolved with the patch.
