Bold?

[pramsey]

I have some terms that I have made bold using double-asterisks in markdown, but I'm not seeing bolded words... they are in the HTML, but the style doesn't do any thing for strong.

I believe that is a feature of the font. cc @xenophenes?

I actually just found and solved this issue on the main Crunchy Data website. Bootstrap sets the font-weight for strong tags to bolder instead of bold, which the Fort font doesn't like. I'm taking a note of this; in the redesign of the theme we're replacing all paragraph & descriptive text with the Avenir font, and this will be fixed then. Please continue making the necessary items bold using strong tags.

As a temporary workaround, if your content is being written in HTML, you can add the Bootstrap built-in class to the tag to make it render as expected:

Example: <strong class="font-weight-bold">My bold text.</strong>
