There is a rendering problem on pretty much all confluence macros. It just 
can't handle long lines when using something like {code}, {noformat} or 
{snippet} in this case.
So far, what worked for me is to copy the content over, trim and format those long lines 
manually so it looks better on the doc. After all it is the documentation and 
reorganizing some code lines for "display purposes" is totally acceptable. ;-)

Cheers!

I think we should work hard to make the documentation reference live svn content using the snippet plugin. However my initial attempts http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/GMOxDOC21/Plugin+infrastructure
Created another simple example here:

I think the pages look great, and the mix of docs and actual snippets from the repos is fantastic.

However, a few small formatting issues. It seems confluence wiki formats ALL the snippet blocks to the longest line of code on the page. On David Jencks' page, there is a huge line in the deploy/assemble command that makes all the code blocks ultra-wide in Firefox 2.0 and IE 7.0. Also it seems the white and gray backgrounds have a style problem when you scroll out to the right.

Perhaps we should check if the snippet plugin can break long lines for reading purposes?

These are definitely problems, but I don't think wrapping the lines for reading purposes will be very good because it will give a distorted impression of what the script has to look like. I think the best would be if we could do something like line continuations in the script, but when I tried this it didn't work. Maybe there is some easy way to get gshell to interpret "\" like bash?

(actually only the first block is a snippet.... working on fixing that now)
