 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="55162"
 Code Modernization: Rename parameters that use reserved keywords in `wp-
 includes/formatting.php`.

 While using reserved PHP keywords as parameter name labels is allowed, in
 the context of function calls using named parameters in PHP 8.0+, this
 will easily lead to confusion. To avoid that, it is recommended not to use
 reserved keywords as function parameter names.

 This commit renames the `$class` parameter to `$classname` in
 `sanitize_html_class()`.

 Follow-up to [54927].
