Look at this page:
http://www.cocoadev.com/index.pl?BetterArticleTextLayout .
It appears that the <code> block at the top of the page, being preformated text, pushes the <code> element width out to the right as far as it needs. But it doesn't just push out the width of the <code> element, it pushes out the width of the *entire* page, so that other parts of the page no longer respect the window width. This makes the rest of the page extremely difficult to read, unless people do their own line-wrapping (which, this being a Wiki, cannot be ensured)
Is this something the W3C should clear up in it's implementation guidelines? That a <code> block may be allowed to force width inside that element, but that all following elements should wrap to the window-width, or to the predetermined width of a higher-up table, div, or other container element.
Would there be a way to hack the HTML code to allow *only* the <code> block to be expanded? Perhaps by putting it in it's own <div> block or table or something. Or could you put the rest of the page into a separate table that would have a width that would explicitly be set to window-width, or have a JavaScript that would modify reset that table's width to the browser width?
