I need some help with javascript

I need to search (p|t|k) and (b|d|g) in a text paragraph taken from a textarea then mark with <b>(b|d|g)</b> only if they are preceded or followed by one of the letters (p|t|k)

examples:

bp b

The only thing I was able to do is mark both and search it by myself but if someone could help me with this would be great

In the first example, should the b be bolded instead of the p's? – xdhmoore Oct 17 '20 at 23:21
@xdhmoore yep mb, i'm going to read that, thank you! – Alan Oct 17 '20 at 23:30
Also shouldn't b in the last example be bolded? – xdhmoore Oct 17 '20 at 23:40
`"kb".replaceAll(/(?:(?<=[ptk] *)([bdg]))|(?:([bdg])(?= *[ptk]))/g,'$&')`. – xdhmoore Oct 17 '20 at 23:43
My other attempts didn't completely work, so I removed them. Hopefully this one does and is helpful. Anyway, that's my final attempt. – xdhmoore Oct 17 '20 at 23:46
