Code wrapping issues have been driving me crazy lately. Different browsers, different screen resolutions, etc. all mean one thing -- if auto-wrapping is on I have to scroll to the right to see the nodelets. Turn it off, and then I get to see those annoying red '+' signs in code -- argh!! Cthulhu would be proud!! So, crazy thought -- why not give us an option to put the nodelets on the left? That would greatly reduce the need for horizontal scrolling.

Thanks for your consideration!

P.S. In case it matters, I'm using the excellent looking Perl-Blue theme.

Update: For those looking for a Firefox and Internet Explorer 6 friendly workaround/solution check out node 583256 (based on node 583254). It's the combined work of ikegami, Aristotle, and pKai (listed in order of posting). Thanks guys!!!! And thanks also to Corion and blokhead for their contributions!!!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
