On the font issue: you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" (since Nimbus Mono isn't in their CSS font family list). I feel you as a user have some responsibility in that case.

> you're effectively saying "I don't like the default monospace font my browser is configured to use, please change your website to fix this" No, that's not true. I have just changed the monospace font on Firefox to Ubuntu Mono, and it is still showing as Nimbus Mono.

The website's CSS uses the following fonts for code blocks:

> "Inconsolata", "Source Code Pro", "Consolas", "Monaco", "Courier", monospace

So either it is using one of those fonts (Courier and Nimbus Mono L are similar I guess), the site is serving you special CSS that I'm not getting (and I've tested it on Linux and Windows), or Firefox has done some weird font aliasing and one of the above is being treated as Nimbus Mono L.

I've checked and it's picking up the "Courier" from the CSS.

(I tried removing Courier and it displayed the text in something nice-looking which Firefox reports is DejaVu Sans Mono)

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element Same thing but guaranteed to be up to date and (more) complete. For example, htmlreference.io's page for doesn't mention the autocomplete attribute. MDN lists all its possible values. http://htmlreference.io/element/input/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/in...

MDN indeed is (and should remain) the canonical resource, but projects like this could be nice additions.

https://meiert.com/en/indices/html-elements/ - another nice minimalist project with great value.

you just contradicted yourself.

His statement, yours, and mine are all valid Tcl code :-)

They just invoke the procedure named "unknown" a lot, probably -- depending on any other preamble.
