Use Element Content with Styling

Dear Users.

I have a structure like below,

<definitionblock placement="local">

<term>Demo Term</term>

<definition>

<para>Device to test .</para>

</definition></definitionblock>

I have styled definitionblock/term as BOLD . It appears fine when visualised in PDF . But when I create a gen-text for definitionblock and use 'Current Element' , it does not show up my styling (i.e bold made for TERM element.) .

Can you pls suggest what needs to be done so that the styling is retained .

Regards.
