Markdown List Font Size

charking · 2019-01-25 01:28:14

The text for an unordered list is smaller than the text in the rest of the copy (see http://charleskinghorn.com/bl2test/info/). This was not the case in Backlight 1 (see http://www.charleskinghorn.com/info/).

That's because you changed your font size in custom.css and custom2.css:

.the__copy p {
     font-size: 16pt; 
}

It might be a good idea to consolidate your two custom.css files in one, unless there is a good reason to have two. But then I would eliminate duplicate settings.

The reasons for custom.css and custom2.css go back to my initial reworking of my website in Backlight 2 back in December: http://community.theturninggate.net/vie … hp?id=9291. At the moment both specify the same font size, and for my last test I nullified the code in both. Besides, phpplugins.php references or executes only custom2.css; I had previously removed the reference to custom.css.

The Markdown list font size is unchanged and still too small. It appears that my custom.css/custom2.css coding has no effect on this issue.

Have a look at line 2 of custom2.css:

.the__copy p {
     font-size: 16pt;
 }

If you want the bigger font size to be the same as for the paragraph, you might add it to your custom.css as well:

.the__copy p, .the__copy li {
    font-size: 16pt;
}

Thank you, Daniel. That worked. I keep forgetting that Markdown "code" gets translated into html. I have some homework to do.

Before you responded, I removed the reference to the Adobe typekit and all was normal, but without my chosen font and smaller than I wanted. My guess is that my other font size issues may relate to the issue here.

PS: I reverted to using custom.css and removed custom2.css.
