I think the biggest reason that I would see is that some things wrap and are fine contextually - much of the time . . . command lines do not fall into this category. My recommendation on this one would be to get a shorter example, but wrapping can be a good way to go for sure.

Cheers,
Tim

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?

Andrew, I'm guessing hte problem that you're having with this is
caused by two things:


1. You have quite a small viewable space in your browser
2. the svn diff of ShipmentServices is a bit wider than you have going
on.


#1 we can't help you with :) - #2 is probably something more in the
way Confluence handles verbatim text.  In this particulart case, we
would have a few options:


1. Make the example path shorter
2. See where & why Confluence handles these this way.


I'm guessing that it's easier to do #1, but maybe someone know why
verbatim-esque things are handle this way. I checked a bunch of other
wiki formats and they ALL pretty much handle them in a similar manner
because it's just following what the user asked - to display something
exactly the way that they see it.


Anyways, I hope this helps explain the mystery.


Cheers,
Tim

Hi,


I have noticed that quite a few of the wiki pages extend wider than
the
browser page.


Is it not possible to set the wiki HTML so that it always
proportions the
content to the current size of the window?


The reason for the request is that it quite difficult to read a long
document with having to constantly shift the window from side to
side.


An example of this is:

+Practices


I am using Firefox 2.0.0.1 on Windows2000 if that makes any
difference.
Internet V6 does the same.


Kind regards,


Andrew Ballantine.
