Description
Happen in Eclipse 4.27 with latest Java 20 Patch Plugin P20230322-0620 installed.
Open the API Documentation in Javadoc, e.g. by pressing Shitf+F2 while Cursor ist on a Java API Type like List. Then the documentstion is shown without style, i.e., it looks like the css file is ignored:

Setting Eclipse to an external Browser, e.g. the system default, then this browser shows the documentation as desired. Also the Dokumenation of Java <= 19 is show correctly with the internal browser.
I am not quit sure if I found the right repository here for this issue. Please feel free to remove the issue to another one.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Reproduce the issue by opening API Documentation with Shift+F2 in Eclipse 4.27 using Java 20, then compare the embedded internal browser with an external browser and Java 19 or earlier. Trace how the embedded browser loads the Javadoc CSS; done means Java 20 API documentation renders with its styles in the internal browser.
