I think you did not explain your issue clearly, then—on GitHub, long lines and long links are displayed perfectly, as this example with a 434-character line and your originally-mentioned link shows, with no horizontal scrolling and no special styling: https://gist.github.com/treyharris/fcfb2558806e35ffc8d3dd4502a06c39 So if neither what the Emacs screen displays nor what the site you say you’re publishing to displays is on-topic, I don’t know what is on-topic. What problem are you trying to solve exactly? A URL showing the horizontal scrolling would be helpful.
