Hi!

One of the sites that I find pleasant is that of Racket:

  https://docs.racket-lang.org/turnstile/

The serif font it uses seems to be slightly more legible than Linux
Libertine though.  Dunno, maybe we’ll change our mind eventually, but I
thought we could do better than Helvetica.

Oops, I must have messed up with search and replace.

Already up-to-date.

I’m sending v2 with your suggestions.

Thanks!

Ludo’.
