ACK from me, though you might want for outhers to check how it looks for
them (e.g. Peter).

Two things I noticed that I can't really find what patch caused it, so
I'll not them here.  The table in hvsupport.pl looks weird because it is
so wide.  It would be OK if it were centered.

Ah, interesting. That is because I put "max-width: 60em" on the body
content. The table is clearly wider than that, and so spills over
the right hand margin. I'll add some custom css for the table to
fix that - basically will make it ignore the max-width, but keep
centered.

the stuff in <pre> has line-height of 150% if it is in a <dl/> tag,
which makes some pages with different <pre/> tags inconsistent.  Adding
simple:
pre { line-height: 100%; }
ought to do, I guess.

Can you point me to a page showing the problem so I can better understand
it.


Sorry, I ended the paragraph in a rush with one hand while holding a
child in the other one =)  If you look here:

https://berrange.fedorapeople.org/libvirt-new-website-v2/formatnetwork.html

The unindented (e.g. first two) blocks look normal, but the indented,
because they are inside <dl/> (e.g. the next two at least) have more
space in between the lines.  Inspecting that element in Firefox, it
tells me that the property is inherited from <dl/> (so that you know how
I got that info).  I have no preference in how it's fixed as long as
it's consistent.

Thanks a lot for looking into this and redoing the design, I really
appreciate that.

Martin

Daniel
