As mentioned in the other thread, you could do it using a regex function in the editor. A quick and dirty one would be:

Code:

import math
def replace(match, number, file_name, metadata, dictionaries, data, functions, *args, **kwargs):
    boldlen = math.ceil(len(match[0])/2)
    boldedword = '<b>' + match[0][:boldlen] + '</b>' + match[0][boldlen:]
    return boldedword

With the search as "\b\w+\b", it will make the changes. But, it does not distinguish between words in the text and tags. And doesn't handle if you have already made the changes.
