emojis and bold text are not displaying

[henryhe1]

not recognizing emojis or bold text from markdown. Is this something I have to make a custom CSS for?

italics currently work

Seems like any html in markdown is not being generated. Including embeds, emojis, etc

Hello @henryhe1,

since version 0.60.0 of Hugo, Goldmark is the default markdown handler.

Which means that inline HTML is disabled by default for safety. Here is the way you can enable it, if you are using config.toml:

[markup.goldmark.renderer]
unsafe = true

Before you use any inline HTML, make yourself familiar with the possibilities that Hugo offers.

emojis and bold text working fine in my testing environment. Could you show me a snippet how you're try to use this features?

Hey @dataCobra , thanks for the reply! This is very helpful. I was mainly intending to use html for centering text as well as embedding soundcloud links.

And emojis do work for me now with enableEmoji set to true and using shorthands; before I was trying to copy the exampleSite emoji post which didn't work.

Regarding the bold text, I believe it is working when I zoom in, I think the bold font weight just looks similar to the normal font weight. How can I increase the weight of the bold font? Cheers, and great work on the theme! :)

@henryhe1 that is a strange behavior. But if you want to try a higher font-weight, you could add the following to your custom CSS.

b, strong {
  font-weight: 700;
}

Could you tell me which browser you're using to display the page?

Since I am currently working on the redesign, I can use this information to directly correct such errors for the future.

Thank you for reporting this errors 👍

@dataCobra thanks a lot. It is working but just doesn't pop out on screen enough even with the weight at 700. I like Roboto but I just switched to OpenSans to make it easier. I am using Chrome. Looking forward to the redesign!

@henryhe1 thanks for your answer. 🙂

I will close this issue now. 👍
