Any text written after a formatted piece of text will mimic that formatting unless you change it manually. For example, if you write "I love wikiHow" and bold "love", "wikiHow" will also be bold when you type it out. You can disable this by selecting the subsequent text ("wikiHow" in this case), tapping "BIU", and tapping "Bold" again.
