#5. Poll: SJIS vs monospace by default?
Published: 2024-06-18 [Tue] 15:20, by wiki dev
Dear wiki editors and other forum members:

I am currently using ``` code tags ``` to render <pre><code> regions
via Mistune -- markdown renderer -- but there is a problem. There are
cases where we sometimes want SJIS/AA art for these <pre><code>
regions and other times when we want monospaced fonts (eg: ascii art,
code, irc logs).

So here's the question: what should be the default behavior?
See: https://wiki.gikopoi.com/o/SandBox.5, preview and textarea


I'm leaning towards making SJIS art be the default case and monospaced
be the exception, which you can specify like

```m
monospaced text
```

Main arguments for making SJIS/AA be the default:
* it's easier to imagine a case where there are multiple SJIS arts
on a page than multiple code/log/ascii regions
* marking multiple preformat regions as "m" is easier than marking
multiple SJIS regions as "aa" or "sjis"
* generally speaking, code/irc logs still look okay in SJIS fonts while
SJIS art is almost never acceptable in monospaced fonts
* we are a wiki that caters to SJIS art enthusiasts
.
