    Description

      The <dd> part of definition lists are rendered in monospace font, but should be rendered as regular text.

      E.g. see http://download.java.net/jdk9/docs/api/java/util/concurrent/ThreadPoolExecutor.html
      After "Core and maximum pool sizes"

      Looking at the sources, I see in stylesheet.css:
      .contentContainer .description dl dd, .contentContainer .details dl dd, .serializedFormContainer dl dd {
          margin:5px 0 10px 0px;
          font-size:14px;
          font-family:'DejaVu Sans Mono',monospace;
      }

      which looks dubious and may be the cause of this problem.
