Description

Why is the markup used in <span class="not-en">e.g.</span> ? It doesn't appear to attract any special styling. And 'e.g.' is English.

Research direction

Start in the manual-of-style content containing the <span class="not-en">e.g.</span> markup. Inspect how that markup is rendered and whether the style has any documented purpose. Done means clarifying the rationale or removing the unnecessary markup, with the manual-of-style text remaining consistent.
