Sorry, it ain't gonna happen. What does a backslash mean in a SQL
statement? What does it mean in an HTML snippet?
Inserting characters that the author didn't intend to be in there is
evil. Asking the authors to re-type all their code so that it will
display in 640 pixels probably isn't realistic.
Can someone take a look at other sites (such as sitebuilder or devnet)
and find out how they handle this issue?
