Some of the Tips of the Day that describe keyboard shortcuts are hard to understand because the keys aren't delineated. #41: "Need to insert the date in a spreadsheet cell? Type Ctrl+; or Shift+Ctrl+; to insert the time." Should I type Ctrl and the plus key, and the semicolon is punctuation? #85: "To quickly insert or delete rows, select the desired number of rows (or columns) and press Ctrl+ to add or Ctrl- to delete." This is inconsistent, it leaves out the +, probably because "Ctrl++ to add or Ctrl+- to delete" is hard to understand. Expected results: Ideally the Tip of the Day would use CSS that renders keycaps around keyboard keys, e.g. https://jsfiddle.net/7rg5pLs8/1/ . That might also address bug 130979, which talks of the difficulty of localizing the modifier key's name. Using an HTML renderer might also allow a cleaner fix for bug 135790 by using HTML named entities &MOD1 and &MOD2; to represent Ctrl-Alt/Cmd-Option instead of performing string replacements in these tips, or using a templating engine. It would also probably fix bug 135113 as HTML text is often selectable. Additional Information: I think the LibreOffice help documentation likewise doesn't draw keycaps for keyboard shortcuts, e.g. https://help.libreoffice.org/latest/en-US/text/scalc/04/01020000.html
CSS requires an HTML engine behind the style and that makes the simple text rendering a huge thing. Not saying it's impossible, even without HTML parts of the text could be replaced by graphical elements, but the effort is out of all proportion to the benefit.
