The section for art shelfmarks are styled quite differently from the others. It looks especially bad right now because the "code" formatting hasn't been changed yet. Nevertheless, the basic issue of articles containing preformatted examples with parenthetical comment is going to keep coming up and I'd like to settle our basic house style. --[[User:DeborahLeslie|Deborah J.

Stylistic questions

The section for art shelfmarks are styled quite differently from the others. It looks especially bad right now because the "code" formatting hasn't been changed yet. Nevertheless, the basic issue of articles containing preformatted examples with parenthetical comment is going to keep coming up and I'd like to settle our basic house style. --Deborah J.

Have a look now. I tried two things: indenting the Art examples (so that they read more easily), and converting some LC examples (the last three) to a table. The table isn't necessarily formatted the way it should be. I started by copy-and-pasting the table at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Formatting, then realized an hour later that I should have looked for the help page on tables!
