UPDATE: Plz see Re^4: using <pre> tags for citing perldocs! (Solution with personal "Display Settings") !
Hi using <pre> tags are considered a sin within the monastery, but I wanna suggest to use them when citing from perldocs and similar sources. When displayed in a terminalš the docs already have a hard linebreak only some characters longer than <code> has, always inserting "+" breakes for these <10 chars IMHO doesn't worth it. Please compare the readability of
using <code>
using <pre>The auto-increment operator has a little extra builtin magic to it. ... "undef" is always treated as numeric, and in particular is changed to 0 before incrementing (so that a post-increment of an undef value will return 0 rather than "undef"). if someone is concerend about font-size you might add additional <tt>

Another possibility could be to augment the chars/line number in <code> to allow easy citing of perldocs.
Cheers Rolf 1) hmm depends on the terminal-with but perldoc seem to have a min-width of 80 chars. UPDATE: Hmm ... the line-width of perldocs seems to be a convention, it depends on the author if he wraps after 80 chars. The synopsis of Scalar::Util is an example for bad formatting.
