The problem is that the wrap width of normal text paragraphs shouldn't |

be determined by the width of listing blocks. It should be determined |
16 |
by the width of the browser window. |

I'd also set a maximum text width to keep paragraphs somewhat readable |
19 |
when you widen the window to see all of a really wide listing block. |

question. |
