Hi all,

I have a problem that a paragraph i have written in html is shown in \*\*bold letters \*\*in [COLOR=red]firefox [/COLOR][COLOR=black]whereas it is shows properly (regular letters) both in IE and in Safari.[/COLOR]

does anybody seen this bug ? is there a way around it ?  
It seems that whatever i do (taking down all \<b\> tags or all font-weight in html) still i see the text in bold in firefox…

help appreciated.

Use \<strong\> instead of \<b\>
