bolding font problem

[bubu]

Hi! I have another problem with code. Font bolding does not work in the code below. I tried inserting different values, but nothing works. The default setting is bold at the top, but when you change it to a normal font, then you can't bold the text at all What should I add there?

The issue may not be in the code you posted above but possibly elsewhere

I'm so sorry, Scott! There is url: montanagrizzlies.proboards.com/

The bold in that theme is set lower than the traditional font-weight that is usually considered to be bold.

@bold_weight: 500;
...

.bold, b { font-weight: @bold_weight; font-size: @bold_size; }

You would need to override the 500 weight with a inline style for example in order to get back to the standard bold weight[b style="font-weight:bold"]this text is bold[/b]

MDN::CSS::Font-weight said:

/* <font-weight-absolute> numeric values [1,1000] */
font-weight: 100;
font-weight: 200;
font-weight: 300;
font-weight: 400; /* normal */
font-weight: 500;
font-weight: 600;
font-weight: 700; /* bold */
font-weight: 800;
font-weight: 900;

Values

• normal

  Normal font weight. Same as 400
  .

• bold

  Bold font weight. Same as 700
  .

• <number>
  

  A number value between 1 and 1000, both values included. Higher numbers represent weights that are bolder than (or as bold as) lower numbers. This allows fine-grain control for variable fonts. For non-variable fonts, if the exact specified weight is unavailable, a fallback weight algorithm is used — numeric values that are divisible by 100 correspond to common weight names, as described in the Common weight name mapping section below.

• lighter

  One relative font weight lighter than the parent element. Note that only four font weights are considered for relative weight calculation; see the Meaning of relative weights section below.

• bolder

  One relative font weight heavier than the parent element. Note that only four font weights are considered for relative weight calculation; see the Meaning of relative weights section below.

Fallback weights

If the exact weight given is unavailable, then the following rule is used to determine the weight actually rendered:

• If the target weight given is between 400 and 500 inclusive:
  • Look for available weights between the target and 500, in ascending order.
  • If no match is found, look for available weights less than the target, in descending order.
  • If no match is found, look for available weights greater than 500, in ascending order.
• If a weight less than 400 is given, look for available weights less than the target, in descending order. If no match is found, look for available weights greater than the target, in ascending order.
• If a weight greater than 500 is given, look for available weights greater than the target, in ascending order. If no match is found, look for available weights less than the target, in descending order.

Thanks for the answer, Chris!

When I use the code you sent in a post (this text is bold) it works perfectly, however I still don’t know how to make the text in my code normal by default and make the work normal (as it should) so I can bold with one click (by clicking the B on the bar, when writing a post).

Could you please advise on that?
I’m new to it all, so I’m not even sure where I should exactly change it.
I’d really appreciate your help.

Everything is bolded by default due to an unclosed <b> tag



I'd suggest you look for unclosed tags such as <b>montana/b> is the product of the minds...

It was bold by default all the time until I changed it from 700 to 500, because that was the only way to make the text on the forum normal. But now I can't bold anything using the button. I also couldn't bold anything earlier because the text was automatically bolded.

Now that you've gotten rid of the errant <b> tags you would still need to return the bold back to 700 weight to see a difference between bold and normal

It worked! Thank you so much Chris, you're the best!
