If it's not to be bold, it is probably not a "header". Use something else,
maybe: <p>This is not bold text.</p>

The default _is_ bold, so let it be. I think you need to rethink what
"headers" really are.

By adding the required style as CSS:

font-weight: normal

By adding the required style as CSS:

font-weight: bold

I'm curious - you managed to learn how to add a style inline but you
don't know about font attributes? Maybe you should at least read some
documentation about HTML and CSS at all.

It’s called “heading”.

> how do I have it not bold?

By using CSS:

<style>
h2 { font-weight: normal }
</style>

This makes all h2 elements not bold.

If you use the CSS code I suggested, you need to override it. You can
use various selectors to select one specific h2 element, but if you are
using inline CSS anyway (not recommended in general), you might as well
use it for this:

<h2 style="color: #818285; font-weight: bold;">Text</h2>

CSS is your friend.

(we have covered this before).

All HTML tags have a default CSS associated with them. The h# tags have
a default style of bold. As with anything else in HTML, you can use CSS
to change these defaults.

If that was the first thing that came to your mind, I think you need to
step back from the CSS and instead concentrate on how to plan a document
and its parts.

[Excerpt:]

<h1>Title of my Book</h1>
<h2>Chapter One</h2>
<p>The opening paragraph starts us here. Several sentences.</p>
<p>A second paragraph, probably same quantity of text.</p>
<p>Maybe even a third...</p>

<h2>Chapter Two</h2>
<p>More paragraphs...</p>
....

You don't choose the HTML element for its size, but for its job. Once you
have the above in control, visit here:

There is no reason why headings need to be bold. There are enough
other ways to make clear that something is a heading, for example
vertical spacing.

No, _you_ need to open your mind to the many ways headings can be
formatted.

No, that is what _I_ said. You can't use it, too.

For the killfile, then, sadly. I'm quite happy to help a beginner along - very
often a thoughtful explanation of something you'd forgotten you once puzzled
over can unblock progress. But spoon-feeding is something else. And it's
still feasible he's a troll, asking ever-more stupid questions and laughing at
our attempts to answer them.

It's clear from the question above that you haven't read even a beginner's book
on CSS (assuming you're genuine, which I can't). That's just wasting
everyone's time.

If I'm wrong and you are genuine, and books (like the ones I posted for you in
a previous thread) aren't your thing, then try searching YouTube for "CSS
beginner tutorial".

But if books really aren't your thing, this likely isn't the field for you.

I'm more of a systems person than a programmer

USENET groups are such a nice source ...

I'll try to do a WWW search first

why read a book when you have access to "the information superhighway" ?

w3schools is pretty good

I have been hacking at HTML since the mid 90's

back then w3c.org was a better school source than w3.org

w3.org had a lot of "Pop ups" when I was there, this is called w3schools
now and is good

I think w3c.org doesn't have school any more

Because you've been actively avoiding it. CSS2 has been around since
1998.

that' not bad, though I prefer practical tutorials of describe a problem
and show how to solve it and what the solution means.
