Andrew, Tim,

The diff line definitely seems to be the problem, perhaps it would be a
good idea to have a best practise somewhere that asked for verbatim
lines to be split when they were in danger of causing this kind of
formatting problem, I see it too, and it definitely isn't too
pretty! :-)

e.g.
$ start of line
~\ continuation
~\ even more...

Is there any reason not to do this?
