Bolding in new email editor

Hi everyone! I’m playing around with the new email editor and trying to create a test template. It’s not letting me bold (or italicize, etc) specific words...it just bolds the entire text block. It’s the same in paragraph, h1, h2, etc stylings. Is this intentional or a bug? Or is that something you can only do at an email asset level?

Thanks!

    Hi Rachel! Sounds like it might be a bug since you should be able to control the text styling both in the template and in an email.

    Can you check the source code and make sure the bolded text styling is applying to the specific word and not to the whole section?
     

    1. Click the </> icon to see the source code
    1. Make sure the styling is applying correctly. In this example, the H1 text is bold by default, but you can see I unbolded the “- Test Copy” part 

       

    Regardless of how it shows up in the template, when you create an email, that should be an editable text section where you can customize the bolding/italicizing, as well as the font size, colour, etc. If you still aren’t able to edit the text styling in an actual email, there may be some CSS somewhere that’s overriding your styling.

      Hi ​@gnw_garrison202 ! Thanks for the response 😊

       

      I just did a test at both the template level and email asset level. The same thing happens in both. It looks like it’s just changing the font-weight for the entire p tag to bold...not adding a strong tag to those specific words. (I was trying to just bold the words “fermentum bibendum” in the first sentence).

       

      Here’s the before HTML:

       

      Here’s the after HTML:

       

      Seems like a bug I believe, right?

       

      Edit: I haven’t added any custom CSS to the template yet as I’ve just started and am only playing around to learn how to use it.

      Can you try changing the Theme settings so that the paragraph text is normal by default? Then once you save that change, can you try bolding just the “fermentum bibendum” text?
