What's with the awful font and seriously slacker half attempt at alignment? I basically can't read anything on that page.

Thanks! I removed the bold attribute from links so things should align better now on some browsers.

1. That helps a lot!

2. The alignment still leaves a lot to be desired. There's stuff that is clearly intended to align that doesn't, and it's more distracting than if it didn't attempt to align at all.

3. I apologize for the insulting way my previous comment was written. I try not to do that; I must have been grumpy, but it's no excuse.

No problem.

There were still some bolded elements, so I switched to a different color scheme and further removed bold elements.

Looking through the doc I can't spot any cases where alignment would be unintentionally wrong. I think the next thing to do to improve readability would be to add some spacing around groups of definitions. This way different alignments used in side-by-side groups should cause less visual interference. I suspect that the visual interference from side-by-side groups is what makes the alignment look distracting.
