Extract monospace text styling to a %placeholder

[bartaz]

Currently only <code> <pre> etc elements provide built-in monospace font styling, but they also come with other styles, like background, etc.

There is no easy way of creating other elements that will use monospace font but different style.

We should extract any necessary styles (font, line-height, etc) to some %vf-text-monospace placeholder, so it can be reused in places that need to use monospace font without inheriting base <code> styling.

Triaging: effort low, impact low/medium.

Needs decision. Do we want to allow monospace text outside of code elements?

I'd support having a mixin or a simple css class setting the relevant font properties. My usecase would be showing git revisions in a table and without monospace they do not align nicely.

Why can't you just wrap them in <code>?

Fair enough, it doesn't look to bad in this case. Thanks!

Unless there is some high impact use case for this we will consider it for the new architecture only.
