Expected Behavior

descriptions and other text should be in normal text font, not monospace.
Text within the descriptions may use backticks to result in monospace,
but

Current Behavior

if everything is monospace, such text is not distinguishable.
See screenshot

Possible Solution

Context

Start by loading the supplied Swagger 2.0 definition in Swagger UI and inspect how the parameter and response descriptions are rendered. Trace the styling or rendering path responsible for those descriptions; done means ordinary description text uses a normal font while text within backticks remains monospace.
