The sidebar on one of my pages has bolded all text except widget titles. This applies to only ONE page--all the others are fine.

Thanks for your prompt response, but that's not the problem.
I double-checked my widgets, and there are no occasions of a <strong></strong> or <b> tag in any of them. In any event, the problem is occurring in all widgets on the page, even those with no user-generated html.

I just found the problem. I did have an unclosed tag; it was in the body of a post on the page, rather than in the widget area. Odd that it should affect the widgets, though, methinks.
Thanks for your help.
You're welcome.
