[Zope] Text won't Wrap on Zope site

[Alexander Staubo]

I guess I can explain that. If the site _is_ fit to a certain size, on a
"big screen" you have the option to enlarge the window; on a small
screen, you don't. That doesn't mean you should design to fit a full
screen, as there are other factors, such as people with disabilities or
poor eyesight, as one poster pointed out.

620 seems to be a good page width. It fits any browser running on a
640x480 screen, and it's a comfortable page width for reading -- about
the size of a paperback book page, I think.

"He won a first at Oxford, squandered three fortunes, made love to a
thousand women, imbibed strange drugs, sold his soul for Rock 'n' Roll,
almost pipped Einstein for the Nobel Prize, was barred from every
Chinese
noodle parlour in West London and died penniless, at a Hastings
boarding-house in his ninetieth year."
