Thanks. But this is where proportional fonts really mess up. But even 
with fixed-width, what space where?!

As far as I can tell, I've got exactly what you wrote:

dot dot space class colon colon space borderless

and it's not working. stick a space after class and it has no effect.

I just don't know what I'm doing, and nothing works.

2.2 Structural Terms:
.....................

.. class:: borderless
=========== =========================================================
Item-Id -   A character string (maximum 48 characters) which
             uniquely identifies an item within a file. The item-id
             may include any characters except system delimiters,
             however the use of blanks, single quotes, quotes,
             commas, and backslash characters may require special
             considerations.

Cheers,
Wol
