Yep, it's only a CSS issue:

- From: white-space: normal;
- To..: white-space: pre;

Anyway we have a problem here:

a) Using as 'normal' the line breaks are removed
   (not good to python code) but all long lines are
   also breaked (good for site layout, because the
   horizontal scrollbar doesn't appear);

b) Using as 'pre' we have the opposed behavior: python
   code looks good but the scrollbar gone wild...

Well, I prefer solve (b) and warn members to break their
long lines... ;-)

(Note: changed 'backtalk_document_view')

Backtalk comments (e.g. in Zope BOok or dev guide) don't preserve line breaks in the user's comments.
So posting e.g. a python code example isn't so good.

Looks like only a stylesheet issue, the html source is nice and readable.

Thanks!
