Another decided to override the default display for the <abbr> tag, setting it to display as a BLOCK ELEMENT rather than inline. Even if the tag was specified INLINE in CSS!

Some apps will ignore a semantic <hr/> rule, resulting in no scene break appearing. I try not to think about these apps. I don't want to believe people actually read books in them, yet obviously, it happens. 🤣
For me, Moon+ Reader is atrocious excuse for an epub renderer. To even get Moon+ to make some use of the epub's CSS, you end up digging down multiple menus. And yet, there is a rather vocal crowd proclaiming that it is the greatest thing since sliced bread and insisting any issues with Moon+ should be fixed by the epub publishers and not Moon+'s developers.
