To everybody complaining about the awful text rendering, it's literally in the first paragraph

> [It is ironic indeed, that a text about text rendering, is presented in such an inaccessible and badly-typed environment. This is a Google Docs Preview page. I am still yet to find a solution that provides the same features (collaboration, commenting, live edits) and is presented better. Suggestions are appreciated.]

Acknowledging the irony doesn't remove it. It's yet another case of putting developer convenience over end user experience. Which for something provided for free is more than you paid for but still a subpar result that can be criticized.
Why do you need those features for a published long document? Do the editing and collaboration in an ugly platform, but publish in something more readable?
