[antlr-interest] Re: Antlr website font for code samples is unreadable

[Greg Lindholm]

Thanks for the info, when I bumped it up one notch to "larger" it's very readable. 
 
However... it was set to the default ("medium") and I've never had to adjusted this for any other sites.    
 
I've now played with it for a couple minutes going off to a few different sites... and "larger" is uncomfortably large on many sites.
 
I hope you'll take my advice and make the font larger, if not at least I have a work-around.
 
P.S. You might want (or not) to run some of these pages thru an HTML validator. (There's a lot of errors on the "Lookahead Analysis" page.) If you are generating HTML from TML then you could propably tweek your generator to fix most of the errors.
 
Here are two online HTML validators I've used.
http://validator.w3.org/
http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/
The second one is a little friendlier to use.
