 The rectangle has an aspect ratio similar to what you can see when you share

-The preprocessor adds a large red rectangle on every page. The
-rectangle has an aspect ratio of 16 to 8.5, meaning that it is
-slightly smaller than a standard 16/9 monitor.
-
-The idea is that this approximates what the course participants can
