Im a joomla guy just trying out concrete, this seems like the correct place for this question..but if not let me know & Ill repost

I was trying to edit a page yesterday & the styling from the template was overriding the style changes I was making in the text editor.

It seems illogical to me that if I choose to bold a word..that the template will override me and not the other way around...if I am working on a paragraph and want to format the text to my liking why would a template be allowed to stop me?

Can anyone explain the reasoning to me that allows the template being in charge of a style choice if I prefer something else?

I did get into the css and strip out the styling that was being forced on me....but it doesnt make sense to me....that I should even have to.

Ultimately its my decision if I want bold or whatever somewhere, why is my hitting the bold button NOT the final word in relation to a template style?

As I mentioned I have worked with joomla the last few years & Im considering add concrete into the mix, but if I have to edit a template every time I want to bold (or whatever) and the template is telling me no.. just to format text the way I choose to it seems a bit backward... and like there is a lot of template editing in my future (frankly Id stick with joomla first)

Is that sort of thing very common in concrete templates? Or did I just get lucky and pull my first template and get one in a thousand?

Regardless Im curious about the logic in allowing the template to have the last word rather than the dude actually using it :)

Thanks for your insight!
