       | adjust appropriately for my preferences and eye capabilities?)

         | That page has almost no formatting. It is nearly all raw html.
         | You can certainly zoom the page in your browser or apply
         | client-side styling to change the font.
         | 
         | While there are sites that make it difficult to read due to
         | aggressive styling, this is most definitely not one of them.

       | Stand-up Maths on youtube recently asserted that, at least to
       | topologists, a torus is a hollow rather than a solid donut. Is
       | that something particular to topological domains or is the title
       | on this incorrect?

         | matter, when it does people refer to the "boundary" of it or
         | will just write some equations.
