What this is
A bunch of miscellaneous CSS 'improvements' that I, 
Croquembouche, use on a bunch of pages because I think it makes them easier to deal with.
The changes this component makes are bunch of really trivial modifications to ease the writing experience and to make documenting components/themes a bit easier (which I do a lot). It doesn't change anything about the page visually for the reader — the changes are for the writer.
I wouldn't expect translations of articles that use this component to also use this component, unless the translator likes it and would want to use it anyway.
This component probably won't conflict with other components or themes, and even if it does, it probably won't matter too much.
Usage
On any wiki:
[[include :scp-wiki:component:croqstyle]]
This component is designed to be used on other components. When using on another component, be sure to add this inside the component's [[iftags]] block, so that users of your component are not forced into also using Croqstyle.
Related components

CSS changes
Reasonably-sized footnotes
Stops footnotes from being a million miles wide, so that you can actually read them.
.hovertip { max-width: 400px; }
Monospace edit/code
Makes the edit textbox monospace, and also changes all monospace text to Fira Code, the obviously superior monospace font.
@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@400;700&display=swap');
:root { --mono-font: "Fira Code", Cousine, monospace; }
#edit-page-textarea, .code pre, .code p, .code, tt, .page-source { font-family: var(--mono-font); }
.code pre * { white-space: pre; }
.code *, .pre * { font-feature-settings: unset; }
Teletype backgrounds
Adds a light grey background to <tt> elements ({{text}}), so code snippets stand out more.
tt {
background-color: var(--swatch-something-bhl-idk-will-fix-later, #f4f4f4);
font-size: 85%;
padding: 0.2em 0.4em;
margin: 0;
border-radius: 6px;
}
No more bigfaces
Stops big pictures from appearing when you hover over someone's avatar image, because they're stupid and really annoying and you can just click on them if you want to see the big version.
.avatar-hover { display: none !important; }
Breaky breaky
Any text inside a div with class nobreak has line-wrapping happen between every letter.
.nobreak { word-break: break-all; }
Code colours
Add my terminal's code colours as variables. Maybe I'll change this to a more common terminal theme like Monokai or something at some point, but for now it's just my personal theme, which is derived from Tomorrow Night Eighties.
Also, adding the .terminal class to a fake code block as [[div class="code terminal"]] gives it a sort of pseudo-terminal look with a dark background. Doesn't work with [[code]], because Wikidot inserts a bunch of syntax highlighting that you can't change yourself without a bunch of CSS. Use it for non-[[code]] code snippets only.
Quick tool to colourise a 'standard' Wikidot component usage example with the above vars: link
:root {
--c-bg: #393939;
--c-syntax: #e0e0e0;
--c-comment: #999999;
--c-error: #f2777a;
--c-value: #f99157;
--c-symbol: #ffcc66;
--c-string: #99cc99;
--c-operator: #66cccc;
--c-builtin: #70a7df;
--c-keyword: #cc99cc;
}
.terminal, .terminal > .code {
color: var(--c-syntax);
background: var(--c-bg);
border: 0.4rem solid var(--c-comment);
border-radius: 1rem;
}
Debug mode
Draw lines around anything inside .debug-mode. The colour of the lines is red but defers to CSS variable --debug-colour.
You can also add div.debug-info.over and div.debug-info.under inside an element to annotate the debug boxes — though you'll need to make sure to leave enough vertical space that the annotation doesn't overlap the thing above or below it.
.debug-mode, .debug-mode *, .debug-mode *::before, .debug-mode *::after {
outline: 1px solid var(--debug-colour, red);
position: relative;
}
.debug-info {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(-50%);
font-family: 'Fira Code', monospace;
font-size: 1rem;
white-space: nowrap;
}
.debug-info.over { top: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info.under { bottom: -2.5rem; }
.debug-info p { margin: 0; }

Special Containment Procedures:
Description: SCP-0000 is an anomalous phenomenon affecting the incorporeal essence of corn and corn-based products.
Corn specimens exhibiting the full extent of SCP-0000's effects exude an aura of emotional negativity. Individuals who consume these products experience a persistent sense of unease, theorized to be a gustatory "uncanny valley" effect. This phenomenon intensifies through long-term exposure and eventually culminates into maizophobic anxiety. Continued consumption of affected corn products has been shown to cause severe indigestion, as well as bowel incontinence. These effects have been observed to occur regardless of the subject's awareness of the corn's presence.
ADDENDA
I. History
You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn. You are corn.

- while corn is physically replenishable, its conceptual essence is anomalously finite.
- corn and corn products with a depleted essence are practically inedible. anyone who dares to do so will shit their pants involuntarily
- if this is left unchecked, it will eventually cause a corn-based K class scenario
- a joint inquiry conducted in cooperation with the GOC and the occult branch of the USDA investigates the anomaly's effect
- as it turns out we are using too much corn thats the lesson
- a practical suggestion is proposed: cut back on corn.
- No.
- a bunch of progressively wacky proposals are proposed
- the foundation discovers corn purgatory, where all the corn spirits are stuck
- giant floating pillars with naked people chained to them (angels on a cob) float above a sea of crystallized corn syrup.
- these pillars move around and channel corn energy up into the real world
- however some of the pillars are overwhelmed and have sunken into the syrup
- the foundation reverse engineers these pillars and builds a bunch of machines to uplift corn spirits from perdition
- the foundation gives every farmer a corn necromancy device
- this isnt even a permanent solution and it will probably only delay the inevitable but thats a problem for tomorrow the end
