Then turn "auto" code wrapping off!

It doesn't seem to matter how many times I say this. Even in threads where I've said this I see later replies complaining that wrapping doesn't always work in Moz.

Code wrapping works fine in Moz, but "auto" code wrapping doesn't. I guess part of the problem is that auto code wrapping often doesn't need the soft hyphens so people think "it works" because sometimes it does.

Even castaway's explanation fails to mention "auto". That is what she is talking about but I think most would have a hard time figuring that out.

As for code tags w/o newlines, such are meant for code within a sentence and as such aren't expected to start at the start of a line and so non-auto code wrapping would make no sense.

If someone writes a paragraph of code w/o including a newline, then they've misused the formatting. If anyone wants that fixed then they'll have to write the code that accurately and efficiently distinguishes code within a paragraph from code as a paragraph.
