After the Canvas update that added the external link icon, links that have the strong HTML tag do not display as bold. Here is the HTML code.
<p><strong>Visit the <a href="https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Guides/ct-p/canvas_guides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Canvas Guides</a> for more information.</strong></p>
The text is bold in edit mode.
but looses the formatting in view.
The issue happened only after Canvas changed the external link icon. How can I bold external links?

@lherdan ...
The only related thing I can find recently is an update to the icon: Canvas Deploy Notes (2022-09-28) - Instructure Community (canvaslms.com). So, something may have changed during this deploy. I still would suggest that you reach out to Canvas Support to report this.
