How can I define CSS for Markdown that follows font sizing on iOS?

@chrillek

The global setting of text size does not influence text size in Safari on iOS.

Yes, but it wouldn’t have surprised me if the behavior of WebKit as used by an application was different than Safari’s behavior, for the simple reason that Safari has separate page zoom controls (the ones you get by tapping the address bar, shown below).

For all I know, perhaps the Safari size control overrides whatever is set in Control Center’s Text Size widget.

@chrillek

text-size-adjust:auto is the default, so it’s not going to do anything at all

Yes, I know it’s the default, but because of

1. the way that DTTG behaves with respect to overriding CSS instead of replacing styles with the user’s (as you explained in your past postings), and
2. I don’t know what the default is in DTTG

it seemed prudent to try it (and tell people I tried it).

@chrillek

The whole thing seems essentially broken:

First, set text size doesn’t influence browser font size. Second, there’s no reflow on zoom in Safari/iOS (whatever made them not implement that). So, zooming entails horizontal scrolling.

Thanks for the pointer and info. This is unfortunate
