Description: Text Data

The first two patches address problems on narrow screens (e.g. my mobile
phone).  I think I’m done messing with the website now.  Thanks for
applying my patches!

The third patch above makes the last modification stamp visually
distinct from the body text.  Perhaps that’s good enough.

When I started drafting my email I thought I’d remember a lot of open
issues that I wanted to discuss, but only managed to come up with … two
— barely enough to justify starting a list :)

The patches in this email should make up for this :)
