Ok, some more details:
The post that caused this issue has since scrolled off Planet Debian
derivatives. The issue was that it had a really long line inside of a
<code> tag, such that the page was widened considerably.
To prevent that from happening again I would like to apply some CSS to
make <pre> <code> and <tt> content wrap nicely. The following using
white-space: pre-wrap in planet.css should do that nicely.
The overrides "! important" are needed because debian.css already
defines the white-space property for <pre> <code> and <tt>. There are
multiple lines for each tag type because some versions of some browsers
don't support pre-wrap and some support it via a custom property.
On www.d.o Debian controls the content so we can fix any widening issues
there quite easily, so non-wrapping <pre> <code> and <tt> is acceptable.
IIRC non-wrapping white-space is the default for <pre> <code> and <tt>
so I'm not sure why debian.css needs to define them in the first place
though.
Personally I'd like to see this CSS on lists.debian.org too.
/* Make pre's wrap to the window */
pre { white-space: normal ! important; }
pre { white-space: -moz-pre-wrap ! important; }
pre { white-space: pre-wrap ! important; }
code { white-space: normal ! important; }
code { white-space: -moz-pre-wrap ! important; }
code { white-space: pre-wrap ! important; }
tt { white-space: normal ! important; }
tt { white-space: -moz-pre-wrap ! important; }
tt { white-space: pre-wrap ! important; }
