This is strange...  All "code" items (including inline identifiers and
the snippets) are configured to be rendered with mono-space font,
namely `Fira Mono`.

Could you give me an example where such formatting is not applied?
Perhaps your browser doesn't support font loading (or has been
disabled).  In any case I'll have to change my CSS to include other
fonts as fallback.

I guess this is a little bit harder to do, especially since many
snippets are not 100% Scheme-compliant.  (Or would a simple
regular-expression-based find-and-replace suffice?)  However this is
quite low on my TODO list at the moment (I have to get back at
documenting my interpreter's builtin functionality)...

Yes, I forgot about those...  I'll have to think how to best handle
these...  I think the best would be to use HTML-compliant escape
codes;  the other alternative would be to use the character's UTF-8
encoding, but this could break some parsers.

Unfortunately the SRFI's are again quite low on my TODO, but I'll add
them once I implement support for them in my interpreter.

Hopefully other people would join the effort.
