Thanks!

Yup, that's a direct result of not having the Bootstrap base.

Cool.

Ditto on missing the Bootstrap base. The tables rely directly on that
base for the style an formatting. For the images, the CSS classes are:

"figure col-xl-8 col-lg-10 col-md-12"

"figure" is one of our custom defined classes, but the rest are
Bootstrap and are designed to size to the particular browser window
resolution.

(For the history of the figure sizing, it was two fixes:

1. One with the SVG generation to allow for it to scale (the "S" in SVG
:) and then
2. Applying the CSS classes shown above.

Without the CSS classes, the image will scale without limit)
