If your browser shows "code" text too small, you probably also get very small text on several other web sites. Check your browser settings to see what font is being used.
My browser settings are set to default and I do not have any problem with font settings with other sites including this one, except for "code" tag. Probably, it's fine with lower screen resolution. With higher resolution, it's not always legible.
I agree that messing with font size and/or colour irritates people which I do not intend to do. I believe, if used with discernment, it is very useful in explanation; but then there's always an alternative.
Thank you for responding.
