As an exercise in display of my own ignorance, what controls how wide the text is in a page display of say the 'Monastery Gates' for instance. Today I dropped by only to notice that all paragraphs were 'un-wrapped' and reading required using the horizontal display button at the bottom of the browser (I'm using IE5.5). This seems to change from time to time but I haven't figured out either the pattern or the reason! I also notice that it isn't the same from 'location' to 'location'.

    I think on rare occasions, someone front-pages a Craft node and this usually makes the gates display rather badly as how Craft nodes are displayed usually means they are pretty wide and can be very, very wide.

    I think Craft should be updated to wrap code lines now that we have the "d/l code" feature. But that won't make it to the top of my to-do list for quite a while.

    In the mean time, you can go to user settings and request that Craft not be displayed when you hit The Monastery Gates. Refraining from front-paging Craft nodes might also be a good idea for the next while. (:
