code tags in the monastery seem to break after 70 chars, simply extending them to 80 chars would solve the problem in most cases, since xterms default to 80x25.

I think nowadays thats acceptable, another - backward compatible - solution would be a new tag "quote" which works like "code" but with 80 chars wrap.
