Dreamweaver question

I'm trying to make a text unbolded, but there's no tag that makes it bold in the first place.

The text is bolded but the only modification I made to the text is the size, not bold or anything else.

Is there another reason why this text would be bold if there's no tag on it?

    Is it wrapped in <strong> tags? Those work in the same way as <b>.

    One other thing I can think of. If you have a stylesheet, it may be making the text bold.

    If the HTML is something like this:

    Code:
    <p class="sometext">This text is bold.</p>
    And you have a line in your stylesheet something like this:

    Code:
    .sometext {font-weight:bold;}
    That would make your text bold.

    Those are good points. Another is the font. Some of the fonts will look bold at certain point sizes.

      If you're using a stylesheet, you may have defined a tag to always be bold (such as the <p> mentioned in the prior post). In that case, you wouldn't even see a class being mentioned in the tag and it would still be bold. Check to see if your code references a stylesheet or if you have one defined within your <head> and </head> tags.
