I think Alex Staubo explained the problem pretty well: when you have
<pre> in tables, the table columns take on the size of the widest line.

sitebuilder.com   -- is in German and I don't see any code snippets. :-)
www.codeguru.com  -- doesn't use tables where source code is involved.
www.webmonkey.com -- has the same problem: var width text does not wrap.

The solution might involve style-sheets? Donnow.
