Here is a page with CRC styling, for a worksheet.
https://spot.pcc.edu/math/orcca/ed3/htmlcrc/worksheet-2-letter.html
The overall centered-ness of the page is not good for a worksheet page
like this. Is there a quick fix so that on a page like this,
everything slides left?

There are some worksheet pages in the sample article
(default layout) and those do not look good either.

I am pretty sure that nothing has been done with worksheets
since the recent major changes.

I hope it is just a matter of adapting the pre-overhaul CSS
to the new HTML markup. I'll try to look at that tomorrow.

Note that the main problem with the link you posted is not the look
of those pages: it is the fact that when you try to print them,
they are too wide for the paper size. I think that was to main
purpose of those pages.

I was composing a separate post about that :)

The printing issue is bad in different ways for standard styling than for CRC:

I made some changes that apply both to the default and CRC styles.

Printing works for me on my laptop from Firefox (on Wednesday, in the
Pacific time zone, after lunch,...).

Note that when you print you have to choose "fit to page", or print
at 80%. (For me, 80% worked.)

I forget if there were good reasons that the aspect ratio of the page
is approximately correct, but the overall page size is too large.
I don't see it as a problem to choose fit-to-page, but I can listen
to arguments that it needs to work without that step.

Regards,

David

For me at this page:
https://spot.pcc.edu/math/orcca/ed3/html/worksheet-1-letter.html

Firefox: If I go to print and change the scaling to 80% then it
suddenly snaps into place. But "fit to page" does not work. It is
identical in scale to using 100%.

Chrome: Same with the 80% scaling. But I don't seem to have a "fit to
page" option.

I don't recall a reason for this either. I was wondering if this was
an unintended side effect of all the styling changes from "overhaul".
