Remove usage of outdated HTML tags from ddoc.

For example, when using the $(RED) symbol in ddoc an outdated <font> tag is
generated. This has been deprecated in HTML for a long time and now considered
a non-conforming feature. In this case a <span> tag should be used with an
inline color style.

All current tags should be reviewed and updated if needed.
