Don't try to hard-code the intended visual style in the article namespace by adding lots of <code><nowiki><span style="..."></nowiki></code> code. The readability will decrease if everybody uses their personally style. It's also hard to edit a page if you don't understand how it is constructed. If you find something that looks really bad try to find the responsible CSS clause for it or ask an organizer or administrator to do so. If bugs in the CSS style get fixed, this will make more than one user happy.
