Older versions of [[Internet Explorer]] (IE), especially versions 6 and 7 (commonly abbreviated IE6 and IE7) have limitations in their CSS and HTML support. As Wikipedia expands its use of CSS3 and HTML5, support for these old browsers will become more limited, leaving older browsers unable to render a page as the editors intend. A number of specialized fixes for these older browsers are being removed as the MediaWiki software is being updated.

<syntaxhighlight lang="CSS">@media print {

sup, sub, p, .documentDescription { line-height: normal; }

}</syntaxhighlight>
