Extra bold text?

[DannyH_]

Hi,

I create a WebHelp with RH 9. It is a new project which was created in RH 9.

The text contains words in bold (like this). Some short lines (style Normal like the text) are also bold. These lines are not headlines, but they should be highlighted in bold (see below).

To add bold I use the bold button of RH. When I generate the WebHelp and open it in Firefox (currently version 11), then words within a text and the short bold line look different ?! The single word appears extra bold and the line appears normal bold.

The genereated HTML looks like:

for a word: <span style="font-weight: bold;"><b>word in bold</b></span>

for the short line: <p style="font-weight: bold;">line in bold</p>

When I switch to the HTML view in RH it looks like:

for a word: <span style="font-weight: bold;">word in bold</span>

for the short line: <p style="font-weight: bold;">line in bold</p>

Why does the generation procedure handle bold things different? And why does it add the <b> tag for words within a longer text? I don't want to create a special style sheet for bold words when there is a button to make a word bold.

Can someone explain that?

Regards

P.S. I'm using RH 8, so it must be a change in FF, but it's also annoying that RH adds the extra tags.

If my solution above doesn't work for you, try this:

b{

font-weight:bold !important;

}

     b {

          font-weight:bold;

     }

This workaround is working for me. Great!

But please submit a bug report and help to get this solved directly in RH and not by workarounds. I already added a bug report, but one doesn't attract much attention.

I have this issue too so am using the workaround for now and have submitted a bug report.

Hi Praful Jain,

thanks for this information. I am not allowed to buy new versions every year. I have to live with RH9 at least for the next 2 years.

I seem to have the same problem with RH9 and my solution is to replace the <span style="font-weight: bold;"> and </span> tags with <b> and </b> because it did not happen everywhere and I did not mind handling the issue manually.
