Inline code appears too small in section headings

[apjanke]

When I use backticks to format parts of section headers as code/fixed-width, they end up being rendered too small compared to the proportional-width parts of the section headers. Hurts aesthetics and readability, IMHO.

Here's an example, viewed in Chrome 89.0.4389.82 on macOS 10.14.6:

See how small the "table" is in "Why does table display..."?

This seems particularly pronounced when viewing the page on Safari in an iPhone.

Can anything be done here?
