If you have access to the dev console I highly recommend setting the max-width of the body to 40em. The text spans all the way across the screen by default.

View on HN

I was able to set the width of the body using this command:

document.querySelector('body').style['width'] = '40em';

However, setting the max-width did not work:

document.querySelector('body').style['max-width'] = '40em';

Any idea why?

Is it not style.maxWidth in that context?

CSS attributes become camelCased on the style object.

    document.body.style.maxWidth = '40em'(

Will work.

That's it! Thanks.
