   NEWS — the reader's side
   ------------------------------------------------------------
   A reading page, so it is built around one measure of text and
   gets out of the way. Everything here uses the tokens from
   tokens.css; nothing redefines a colour.

   The `.news-body` rules matter more than they look: that block
   styles markup an author wrote, and the allowlist in
   content/sanitise.py is what decides which of these selectors
   can ever match. If a tag is not in that allowlist, a rule for
   it here is dead code -- so the two lists are kept in step.
