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.

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; }

The jailer steps out into the cold. She is well insulated but it is not long before rimefrost begins to creep along the emerald edges of her vision. She does not seem to mind.
She takes out a device of steel and silicone. Through thick gloves she punches in a single digit and waits.
She stares at the device with emotions that no one is present to identify. Her mouth moves under the many layers, forming a quiet mantra of foreign sounds to her. She knows they are meaningful but she does not remember why.
The device flickers with energy. Behind her glasses stands a figure that she knows is not really there. But it is present, and she must talk to it.
- Eight.
A number. A designation. Not a name, but it carries the same power. Eight is dressed in a well tailored suit but its face does not hold in her memory.
- Agent. Your name.
It is not a question.
- Ber. Na. Det. Bernadette.
Her mantra, now loud. Now real.
Bernadette nods. - It's done.
- Who was it this time?
- The spook. Became obsessed with scheduling. Broke when the generators failed.
- Your doing?
- Does it matter?
Eight chuckles. Bernadette remembers the temperature.
- I suppose not. And the rest?
- The librarian kept their name. The other one didn't fix the gears.
Eight's teeth shine through Bernadette's memory.
- A terrible thing, isn't it? You're not going soft on me, are you? The "other one?" I didn't think you were capable of such kindness.
- It got done either way. Machine's still running. I should be finished with all this by the time the transport gets here.
- As professional as always. The usual? A month off before the next three are selected?
Bernadette nods. - Anything else?
- Not at all. Excellent work, Doctor R.
Eight is simply gone. In many ways it was never really there.
Bernadette grunts. Eight loved rubbing it in that she couldn't remember her full name for a couple weeks. She turns around and trudges back through the frozen drifts and rimefrost air towards the compound.
At the edge of the world, the Machine roars back to life.
