Description Markus Milleder CLA 2010-05-20 09:23:38 EDT
Build Identifier: ---

Plain text messages get displayed as <pre> formatted text in the archives.
 
Some messages contain their text as one long line per paragraph. Just using <pre> means that these messages get displayed significantly wider than the screen, see e.g. http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg18936.html

There are CSS properties to turn on word wrap for <pre>, described at http://users.tkk.fi/~tkarvine/pre-wrap-css3-mozilla-opera-ie.html

I think this would be a useful addition for the style sheet for the archives.

This request may also be applicable for the forums.


Reproducible: Always

Can you force a refresh of that page and tell me what you think?
Comment 2 Markus Milleder CLA 2010-05-31 07:43:26 EDT
That looks much better.

Thanks for the quick fix.
