Some documentation pages are really wide
December 17, 2009, 02:31:58 pm
This is not a huge problem, but just something that I keep getting mildly annoyed by:

Pages on your wiki-based documentation site that have long lines of code inserted into them (with a div wrapper and a "pre" tag around the code itself) are WAY too wide to read, at least on my monitor. If there's even one really long line of code without line breaks, it makes the whole page much wider, and then all paragraphs of regular text are allowed to be just as wide. So then reading involves lots of left- and right-scrolling.

This page is a prime offender:
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Customize+Built-in%2C+Profile%2C+Contribution+and+Event+Registration+Screens
(see attached screen shot of most of my browser window to see how wide the page is for me!)

Is there a way you could force the code to have line breaks in it, perhaps with some indication that the line break was inserted automatically and isn't part of the code, to uniformly prevent this from being a problem on the documentation pages? Or should someone just manually put line breaks into the contents of the "code" or "pre" blocks?

Maybe I have some weird browser thing going on, and it looks fine to everyone else. But in Firefox and Safari? seems unlikely.

Thanks!
