Re: <pre> tags on wide lines

It could be solved for modern browsers by adding pre { white-space: pre-wrap; } to the site's stylesheet.

See the CSS2 specification for how it's supposed to work, and Quirksmode for browser support and test cases.

Awesome! That fixed things nicely for me. I'm certain the gang playing with style sheets for a site facelift will want to add this to the default. ...roboticus	[reply]
