Using Sequence Diagram is there any way to make some parts of the text in bold?

First of all, thank you for an amazing product.

I was trying to convert some diagrams from sequencediagram.org to the flavor that is used inside mermaid. I wanted to be able to emphasize/bold some text, either using Markdown or pure HTML, but it seems not to work.

note right of A: <b>BOLD ME</b> <em>EMPHASIZE</em> but not respected as a command.

Help us help you!

You want an answer. Here are some ways to get it quicker:

• Use a clear and concise title.
• Try to pose a clear and concise question.
• Include as much, or as little, code as necessary.
• Don’t be shy to give us some screenshots, if it helps!

I’m not surprised that HTML tags don’t work, but am surprised that markdown inside graph labels doesn’t work.

I am ‘old’ to Mermaid and I am surprised to see that after changing to Mermaid 8.12 things like Bold using <b>The Bold Text </b> (My Text in Bold) and Italics using <i>The Italic Text </i> (My Text in Italics) have stopped working, which was working in Version 7.03 as I am now having to stick using it. Which is a shame What was the reason of the decision to drop the usage of one of the most basic of “HTML 1.x” tags?? Nice to have the possibility to do a feature request, but what is the point if one looses that basic feature in the next version I am asking myself. Forced to stick with the ‘old’ now.
