TEXT Does NOT wrap! It requires using scroll bars to read.
I noticed the same with Netscape. Even though my laptop does 1024x768, it's a PITA and bad style to have non-wrapping text.
OK, I'll bite...let's say I have a <PRE> block encoding the rewrite rule for Apache. Putting in a line break would break it.
Let's say I quote a snippet of Python and I put in a break where the author didn't intend a break to be. Hmm, that seems like bad style.
_That's_ the reason that those pages don't wrap. They include lines that must be entered exacly the way they are, such as shell commands to start up Zope.
FWIW, the pages are written as Structured Text, which converts to HTML automatically from the text file that ships as doc/CHANGES.txt.
And if you click on the 'Printable Page' link on the bottom, you will be given a non-table version of the text, where everything not within <PRE> tags will wrap neatly within your browser window, instead of within the table cell (which has been expanded to accommodate the width of the widest <PRE> tag).\ -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
