+    <title>Bright colors for bold text</title>
+
+    <p>Traditionally terminals didn't clearly separate bold font weight from
+    intense colors, often both of them were enabled together. Recent
+    improvements, such as the introduction of true color support, and certain
+    color schemes (e.g. Solarized) made it desirable to separate the two
+    concepts, that is, make the brightness independent from the font weight.</p>
+
+    <p>In order to choose your preferred behavior:</p>
+
+    <steps>
+      <item>
+        <p>Press the menu button in the top-right corner of the window and select
+        <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>In the sidebar, select your current profile in the <gui>Profiles</gui>
+        section.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>Select <gui style="tab">Colors</gui>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <item>
+        <p>Disable <gui>Show bold text in bright colors</gui> for the new
+        default behavior, the complete separation of color intensity and font
+        weight; or enable this option for improved backward compatibility.</p>
+      </item>
