On: Ask HN: How to fix overwide pre text?

[teej]

Right now, your css reads as follows:

    pre {
      overflow:hidden;
      padding:2px;
    }

Changing it to the following works for me in both Firefox and Safari:

    pre {
      overflow:auto;
      padding:2px;
      max-width:500px
    }

[pg → teej]

Thanks, that is exactly what I was looking for. I put it in http://ycombinator.com/news.css and it seems to work.
