javadoc style question

[Bhavesh Patel]

Yes. It does look different. There is no particular reason for the difference that I can think of. This is a part of the 2 different UI styles that Jeff Hoffman's team designed and was approved by Mark. But I think it should be using the standard serif font. I will file it as a P4 RFE.

Bhavesh,

Check out this page:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/lang/reflect/InvocationHandler.html#invoke-java.lang.Object-java.lang.reflect.Method-java.lang.Object:A-

Look at the large paragraphs for the Parameters, Returns and Throws 
sections.

Is there are good reason why the paragraph bodies are in monospace 
format?  Would it make more sense to use the standard serif body font here?

Is this worth an RFE in JBS?
