Describe the bug
Often, a table will include a secondary mid-table header row as a way of sub-dividing the table into multiple sections. We've asked our XML vendor to tag these cells as <th> rather than <td>; however, Janeway is still rendering them as plain text, so there's no functional distinction between these <th> cells and surrounding <td> cells.
The row beginning with "PDS negatively worded questions" is tagged in <th>, and we expected it to render the same as the <th> tags within <thead> at the top of the table.
Expected behavior
We would like Janeway to apply the same text style to <th> tags equally, whether they appear in <thead> or <tbody>.
Additional context
According to my research, <th> should be taggable within both <thead> and <tbody>, which would allow the tagging that I've requested for articles 234 and 135. The JATS spec definition for <th> provides the following sample tagging, which indicates that it should be possible to use <th> at multiple locations in a single table:
Table headers at two levels
Headers for the entire table (inside ) and a table segment (inside
)

I just realized that the lack of bold was because the mid-table <th> also included <bold> tags in the XML, which was negating the bold text that Janeway was trying to apply to the <th> text.

<bold>inside<th>should still return strong styling imo.As @pgoussy points out the original premise of this issue is okay, but tagging https://github.com/BirkbeckCTP/janeway/issues/2862 as the issue is reported there.
