<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3148870" xml-lang="en-US">Some parts of formulas are always formatted bold or italic by default.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3150210" xml-lang="en-US">You can remove these attributes using "nbold" and "nitalic". Example:</paragraph>
<paragraph role="smathcode" id="par_id3143231" xml-lang="en-US" localize="false">a + b</paragraph>
<paragraph role="smathcode" id="par_id3153810" xml-lang="en-US" localize="false">nitalic a + bold b.</paragraph>
<paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3149872" xml-lang="en-US">In the second formula, the a is not italic. The b is bold. You cannot change the plus sign by this method.</paragraph>
