Thatâs probably a bug for <literal>. As is the background color, I
think. Iâll fix that in the next release.

Thereâs also something strange going on in that literallayout that Iâll
investigate.

This markup, FYI, introduces an extra line break at the beginning of the
literal layout. If you want the âTo:â line to be the first line of the
block, use:

   <literallayout><literal>To: 

Similarly at the end.

                                        Be seeing you,
