... oh, okay. I guess I was reporting that the font on the new version
seems to have got smaller. Looking at other pages, it appears that the
font is indeed a lot smaller in all tables, including those Tom has been
editing. So maybe this is desirable for some reason. I'll have to keep
my magnifying glass handy, I suppose.

Anyway, it seems <computeroutput> or whatever tag has been used in some
of these new tables makes the font be larger. Another screenshot is
attached to show this. Is this likewise desired? It also shows that
the main text body is sized similar to the <computeroutput> tagged text,
not the table contents text. (The browser is Brave, a Chromium
