Deprecation notice without providing a recommended "use instead"
MDN URL
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/sub
What specific section or headline is this issue about?
Deprecation notice
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
Generally I am used to seeing a deprecation notice combined with a "use instead". I would propose a specific fix myself but don't know the recommended way to accomplish a string substitution operation. I'll be figuring that out next... and thus the suggested update. My guess would be to use replace.
What did you expect to see?
At minimum links at the bottom of the page that suggests "see also". Better would be to include something in the deprecation notice.
Do you have any supporting links, references, or citations?

accomplish a string substitution operation
sub() is not "substitution". If you read below, it's for turning a string into a <sub> element string. You should use createElement() for that. You are looking for replace().
