Comments? Responses?
As Peter has pointed out, the CSS can handle a lot of it. It doesn't have to be hardcoded into the SGML-to-HTML transformation. One option would be to use colors as well (I'm not talking a rainbow of fruit flavors here :). In particular, I find italics often difficult to read on the web. I'll try to get a few styles worked up by tomorrow that
I think it is the monospace italics that really look bad.
I'd have to agree with you. Making them a color other than the text (black) or the links (blue/purple depending on your eyes) would set them off quite well. Serif fonts at small sizes can also be pretty nasty, though this isn't an issue with the PostgreSQL docs.
Color works well on-screen with html. Small-point-size italics are hard to read on-screen, agreed.
Italics work well on B&W printout with PDF. (In general. I'm not looking at the specific example.)
