how to remove the bold from a headline?

Question

I have a headline:

THIS IS A HEADLINE

How do i make the phrase \"THIS IS...\" not to be bold and the rest without a change

Answer 1

The heading looks bold because of its large size, if you have applied bold or want to change behaviour, you can do:

h1 { font-weight:normal; }

Answer 2

You want font-weight, not text-decoration (along with suitable additional markup, such as <em> or <span>, so you can apply different styling to different parts of the heading)

Answer 3

You can use font-weight:100 or lighter: this is working with i.e. Opera 16 and older, but I do not know why the h1 tags in Firefox are bolder, sorry.

Answer 4

<h1><span>This is</span> a Headline</h1>

h1 { font-weight: normal; text-transform: uppercase; }
h1 span { font-weight: bold; }

I'm not sure if it was just for the sake of showing us, but as a side note, you should always set uppercase text with CSS :)

Answer 5

for "THIS IS" not to be bold - add <span></span> around the text

<h1>><span>THIS IS</span> A HEADLINE</h1>

and in style

h1 span{font-weight:normal}

Answer 6

you can simply do like that in the html part:

<span>Heading Text</span>

and in the css you can make it as an h1 block using display:

span{
display:block;
font-size:20px;
}

you will get it as a h1 without bold ,
if you want it bold just add this to the css:

font-weight:bold;
