[Pro] How to make text in H1 tag without getting bold?

Hi everyone

I have a problem with the styles on my site. I did not include any h1 tags on important text.

For example, I set a text in Verdana 20px no bold, when I include an H1 tag it becomes bold text, even the bold icon is unchecked. It looks better no bold, but I need it to be an H1 tag for SEO purposes.

Anyone can help me on this issue?

thanks

Browsers have default stylesheets, which apply to any element that does not explicitly override them. All browsers specify that header tags are bold, and unless the header style explicitly overrides this with

font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;

…the type will appear bold.

Freeway shows the header tags with their [B] button pressed in the Edit Styles dialog by default, but un-checking this does not add the styles above to reset the browser stylesheet. I consider this a bug, and I think I’ve reported it a few times.

So until it gets fixed, you can reset the styles you you want to be normal weight by control-clicking on the style name in the Styles palette, choosing Edit Style from the contextual menu, and using the Extended dialog to add the two attributes listed above. If you haven’t done this before, the Cliff’s Notes version is:

  1. Click New.
  2. In the Name field, enter everything left of the colon (but not the colon)
  3. In the Value field, enter everything between the colon and the semicolon (but neither of those punctuation marks)
  4. Press Okay, repeat from 1 for the next attribute.
