The `hanging-punctuation property` in CSS
One example that I contribute to: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com
It is a code mirror app that outputs md styled like dnd books. It’s very much a “round peg in square hole” project, using html/css to create print materials, but for many it is good enough. It is just html and css, and allows customization, and precise styling requires precise css properties.
As you noted, it does only work well in one browser, Chrome on desktop (even though I think all the devs use FF as their daily driver). But as another commenter noted, the answer is that you design on one machine and share via pdf.

LaTeX for publishing tabletop role-playing games
If you are after a D&D feeling document check out [Homebrewery](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/)
Overleaf (which a recommended as a latex tool) has a [5e style template](https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/d-and-d-5e-latex-te...) too.
Markdown based 5e theme exists: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/

Making your content look official (like a real book)?
Both the Homebrewery and GMBinder allow you to create PDFs with the characteristic "paper" look of official books.
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/ It's a, rather easy to use, website that lets you design "official" looking PDF's.

Lightweight Word Processor
My philosophy these days is text formats like markdown and latex, and if I need to I can always compile it into whatever format the recipient wants. However for something completely different homebrewery is fun. Yeah it's meant for d&d, but no reason that has to be its only purpose.

I want to do layouts
Another place you could write a post similar to this one is /r/homebrewery. If you are unaware, the Homebrewery is an online editing tool originally created for writing D&D homebrew documents in the style of the books. For a long time though many users have created their own custom styles and layouts, and it gets used for many systems beyond just D&D 5e books. And, with the recent OGL kerfuffle, there has been a shift towards a desire for more generic themes....except those themes don't exist yet. If you create want to create layouts without working on a specific project, you could submit mockups/designs to the subreddit. You wouldn't even necessarily need to know how to get it "into" homebrewery....just having the creative part done is likely enough for someone else to do the technical part.

Where does everybody make such awesome homebrew supplements?
Homebrewery is the most popular tool.
Well those are the two best sites for things like that. Most people say gmbinder is better since it has more features, but I personally prefer homebrewery for no reason in particular

[AskJS] Any artists, musicians, writers, creatives, etc, here? Have you found any interesting ways to use javascript in your work?
Hah. You caught me red-handed; I'm a musician, and I indeed did make a town simulator for my DnD game. Generative art is a passing interest of mine, and I occasionally will tinker around with Max MSP, which has Node support. During my undergrad, I made a little webapp called Play Something, which is a sort of constrained-improv-instructions, a stochastic score generation inspired by Cage and Xenakis' aleatoric and indeterminacy works. My creative background has certainly influenced my programming- I was drawn to it because I saw its potential as a method of generating stories, and there are plenty of really great tools that augment and extend the creative process.

“Real time” DM prep
I ran my games this way, and found improving a whole town so stressful that I made a town generator to do it for me- now I don't have to worry if they decide to investigate a hamlet that I didn't expect, as it produces all the descriptions and NPCs necessary. Incorporating Foundry into it makes a huuuuuge difference for my online games.

Breaks my heart to see DMs laboriously create full character sheets for NPCs. So I made a free resource to help out with that!
Would I be able to incorporate this into my town generator? Would provide credit, of course.

City Generator
For anyone looking for more depth for their TTRPG games I highly suggest exploring https://eigengrausgenerator.com/. It will lazily generate beautiful, varied details on a town, it's locations, it's buildings, it's denizens, their relations, provide story hooks, and more. Like a good game master it gives just enough surface detail to maintain the immersion, but will generate more detail as you (or your players) interact with whatever catches your (their) fancy.
