Not so random font changes, but why? (Harlowe)

When testing my story, everything remains as courier, but when I test in a browser, anything using <p> or <br> suddenly changes fonts. Any idea why or how to stop that without having to go through and edit out/stop using that syntax?

    Sorry I should list an example:
    Someone runs down a hallyway. You call out.
    
    <center>(either: ("$yourName<br>Hey!"),("$yourName<br>"Have you seen my sandwich?!"))</center>
    
    The figure stops and turns, revealing a businesswoman with the head of a moose. Suddenly, her eyes turn laser red and fire at you.
    

    The part that changes is between the <center> brackets. In other areas I do this and it's fine. When I remove the <br> it remains the correct font. Any idea what's up?
  • Did you test your example because I noticed that you unnecessary wrapping each parameter of your (either:) macro in brackets and that the second parameter contains three double quotes which results in a Unexpected identifier error. I use the following to run my tests:
    (set: $yourName to "Bobo")
    
    Someone runs down a hallyway. You call out.
    
    <center>(either: "$yourName<br>Hey!", "$yourName<br>\"Have you seen my sandwich?!\"")</center>
    
    The figure stops and turns, revealing a businesswoman with the head of a moose. Suddenly, her eyes turn laser red and fire at you.
    

    Your example also left of one important bit of information, that being exactly how are you setting the font to courier. I used the following CSS:
    html {
    	font-family: courier;
    }
    

    I tested the above on Windows 10 using Chrome, Firefox, IE and Edge and all text appeared in courier.
