Answer 1

How you do it depends on the additional constraints in your situation.

There's no general way to unbold.

If the tags are always , then you can do this

var h = $(elementSelector).html;
h = h.replace("","");
h = h.replace("","");
$(elementSelector).html(h);

I'm not sure why you don't like Regex.
