Hi,

The easiest way to define this is to create a division whose overflow attribute 
is set to auto. example:

<div style="overflow:auto;width=500px;">
  <pre>
     whatever code you want
  </pre>
</div>


Hope it helps.

Is there any way to specify a max width for content of <pre> tags? Currently
the content of my <pre> tags does not automatically wrap when the parent div
is at an end - it just keeps on running until it finds the end of the line.
I know the idea of the <pre> tag is to display the content as it is, but of
course I want it to remain in the boundaries of my parent element.

Any ideas?
