I think mark-none would be fine.

I saw no-bullet was being used in the current output; that would be okay
too.  (See below.)

But it doesn't matter that much as nothing uses these class names.

I don't know how hard it would be but I think it would be nice only
to output the required CSS in HTML files.  The CSS block is quite long
now and much of it would be rarely used.  It would require keeping track
of which CSS was needed and only outputing the CSS block after the rest
of the file has been generated:


a.copiable-anchor {visibility: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 0em}
a.summary-letter {text-decoration: none}
blockquote.indentedblock {margin-right: 0em}
div.center-align {text-align:center}
div.display {margin-left: 3.2em}
div.example {margin-left: 3.2em}
h1.center-align {text-align:center}
h2.center-align {text-align:center}
h3.center-align {text-align:center}
h3.right-align {text-align:right}
h4.center-align {text-align:center}
kbd {font-style: oblique}
kbd.key {font-style: normal}
p.center-align {text-align:center}
p.left-align {text-align:left}
p.right-align {text-align:right}
pre.display {font-family: inherit}
pre.format {font-family: inherit}
pre.menu-comment {font-family: serif}
pre.menu-preformatted {font-family: serif}
span.nolinebreak {white-space: nowrap}
span.roman {font-family: initial; font-weight: normal}
span.sansserif {font-family: sans-serif; font-weight: normal}
span:hover a.copiable-anchor {visibility: visible}
ul.mark-atchar {list-style-type: "@"}
ul.mark-bullet {list-style-type: disc}
ul.mark-click {list-style-type: "\2192"}
ul.mark-enddots {list-style-type: "..."}
ul.mark-registeredsymbol {list-style-type: "\00AE"}
ul.mark-tie {list-style-type: " "}
ul.no-bullet {list-style: none}
