Design tip: if a quote is a quote, have a quote style. If a quote is the entire content of your article and is many paragraphs long, rethink styling it as a quote and instead label it, or something.


And whatever you do: don't grey out the fucking text.


Absolutely agree. It was very difficult to read, and I ended up having to remove the italic and color styles applied to that section, just to be able to read the article.


Readability that shit. Though honestly, in this case, I couldn't even be arsed to do that.


When Ctrl-A makes the text more readable it's an indictment upon the designer.


In Firefox, I often use View/Page Style/No Style, in such cases.
