Hello  @StephenHyatt 

Thank you for contacting the Canvas Community. We're sorry to hear you've been experiencing issues with the typeface format  options in your syllabus. To unbold text in  your Syllabus (or elsewhere)  simply highlight the text with your mouse and click  the "B" above the text editor box to  un-do the bold text. You can also highlight the text and press CMND + B or CTRL + B depending on what device you are using for a shortcut to add or remove the bold text.

If your syllabus has not been typed out directly and is a file that has been uploaded (pdf, docx, etc) you will need to do this same process outside of Canvas and then re-upload the syllabus to Canvas. Hopefully this helps!

Thanks for providing all that code, @StephenHyatt.  I looked through it, but I couldn't pin-point what exactly was making the row for Module 1 be bolded compared to the rest of the table.  So, I took some time to re-create the table for you...hoping that this will work for you.  You'll want to replace the section of code for the table on your page with this code.  (Also, you might want to paste in just this code to a blank page in your course that remains unpublished so your students don't see it...just so you can confirm that it works on your end.)

</table>

 

You'll noticed that the left-most column is only 10% of the table...and the middle and right-most columns are each 45% in width...for a total of 100%.  I did not use any "bold" formatting...as the accessibility checker detected that I didn't use a table header, so I just selected the option to use the top row and the left-most column...so that is why the text in those areas are larger than the other information in the table.

Hope this helps a bit!
