Subject: bug#16450: 24.3.50; HTML manual on line has all text centered instead of left-justified
Date: Tue, 14 Jan 2014 21:31:58 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]

Dunno whether this is perhaps already known and not considered a bug.
Dunno whether, if it is considered a bug, it is seen as an Emacs bug,
since Emacs manuals are not the only ones exhibiting the bug.

Anyway, If I look at the GNU manuals online, such as this one:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/elisp.html, and I choose "HTML
- with one web page per node.", and I start visiting nodes, I see that
the individual lines of text are generally centered, instead of being
left-justified.

This looks awful and makes reading more difficult.  A list of bullets,
for instance, does not have the bullets aligned.  Here, as an example,
is the first node of the Elisp manual:
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Introduction.html#Introduction

And this is what it looks like - see attachment.
