Re: @code{} inside of @math{}

[Hefferon, James S.]

Thank you for the reply, Gavin.

It may well be slanted monospace; my eye does not extend to that.  This may be 
a simple difference of opinion but FWIW in this circumstance I expect plain 
monospace.  (I can of course leave my css in place and get what I want.)

When I post a bug report I try to be a good citizen and search the list for 
prior reports of the behavior.  That includes eyeballing a couple of months 
prior.  The disguising makes it hard for an outsider such as me to do that.  
Perhaps this is a tradeoff that I don't understanc and that folks here have 
decided is the best way to go but FWIW that is my experience.

Regards,
Jim

I get the same output.

I don't get that. I get slanted monospace. Check the letter form of
the "a", if it has a hook on top it is not italics. It must depend on
the browser.

If I change the text inside @code to something else like "teest
monospace" it is easier to see that the font is monospace - see
attached image.

I don't like this idea because the browser should do the right thing
with the <code> tag anyway.
