+- Reader: subheading/chat styling now also wins when the wrapper contains block elements with their own color rule (e.g. `<div class="subheading"><p>…</p></div>`)
+  - Previously the `<p>`/`<h*>` rules in `reader.html` (`#chapter-content p { color: var(--text); }`, etc.) had the same specificity as `.subheading` and applied more directly to the inner element, so the parent's color was effectively overridden — the wrapped paragraph stayed in the default text color
+  - CSS now applies the rule to the wrapper *and* all descendants: `#chapter-content .subheading, #chapter-content .subheading * { … }` (and the same for `.chat`)
+  - Reason: bug reported after v0.2.10 — `.chat` worked because it wraps plain inline text inside a `<p>`, but `.subheading` wrapping a `<p>` lost its color

+- Reader: subheading styling now also applies when the wrapper contains a block element with its own color rule, e.g. `<div class="subheading"><p>…</p></div>`. Previously the `<p>` (and `<h*>`) rules in `reader.html` had the same CSS specificity as `.subheading` but applied more directly to the inner element, so the wrapper's color was effectively overridden and the paragraph kept the default text color. The rule now applies to the wrapper and all descendants (`#chapter-content .subheading, #chapter-content .subheading * { … }`); the same change was made to `.chat` for safety. Reported right after v0.2.10 — `.chat` was unaffected because it wraps plain inline text, but `.subheading` wrapping a paragraph lost its color.
