yes! This worked, and makes sense of the wikify widget. I had spotted it while trying to figure this out, but hadn't been sure how to use it or even if it was the thing I needed to solve this. Turns out it was.
Using style instead of class is handy for this instance. Maybe some time I'll move it out into its own stylesheet, but that's something to learn some other day! Thanks so much everyone for your help. These changes are now reflected on https://trumad.github.io/budgetlywiki/ going forward and the project is complete, unless I come up with more improvements. Thanks!
