Stylebook - output - looks too small

[Mike Dierken <mi...@DataChannel.com>]

I'm playing with the Stylebook stuff & the way <source> elements get
displayed uses a <font size='-1'>

On my browser this looks kind of small... is it okay if I bump it up to the
default size? (just remove the size= part)

Don't even try to fix it in the HTML source.

If users don't have their systems (browsers, windowing systems, etc.)
configured to use a comfortable actual screen font size to display text
in HTML's default virtual font size, those users should adjust their
systems.  The HTML documents should not be perverted.


(Please see Warren Steel's article "What's wrong with the FONT element?"

Mike,

	The Stylebook output is a compromise between browsers.  In general,
whatever we do will look too small on Macintosh browsers, and if we fix
it,
it will be too big everywhere else.  I don't know of a way to fix this,
so
that everybody is happy.
