in thread Rein in overly long|wide code segments via CSS

PM code wrapping only occurs if "Auto Code Wrapping" is unchecked. After the specified width, the line is broken and a red "+" is placed in the first column indicating it's a continuation. Clicking the "download" link provides the unwrapped code.

    Thanks much for clarifying just what "Auto Code Wrapping" option actually does (completely opposite of what I had thought).

    Some time later I discovered that code appears in a p when "A C W" is checked, else in pre which has its own issues. I will keep the "A C W" checked for now.
