The best solution for that IMO is something like the following CSS |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
code {overflow:auto; display:block; white-space:pre;} |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This will generate little scrollboxes for codelistings that don't fit on |
| 16 |
the page width, preventing breakage of general site layout while still |
| 17 |
not mangeling codelistings, ever. |
