I’m using a template to develop a section which is called in a page. In the template, I’m utilizing ‘basic text’ component. When I called the template in the page, I saw the text is bold. Then, I inspect element and saw that bricks automatically add `<b>` tag instead of `<div>`.

I then go check on the template and inspect it but it’s

 not **.**

Hi,  
Welcome to the forum, and thanks so much for your report!

We are not inserting random `<b>` tags, but the browser is trying to fix an existing problem. It is probably caused by the fact that you previously used `<b>` tags but did not close them. I can only speculate as, unfortunately, you have not provided a URL where I could see it directly.

Example: In the first basic text element, I have an open but unclosed `<b>`. This affects the following basic text element, in which I have not inserted any opening or closing `<b>`.

Everything is fine once I close the tag properly:

Hi, thanks for pointing out the issues. I managed to fix it by properly closing the tag.
