Hi there,

I was just wondering: is there was any way to instruct user agents to
treat text as preformatted, but to also have that same text break lines
to fill line boxes? I think this used to be achieved by using the wrap
attribute of the pre tag (with "wrap" and "nowrap" as values, I think?),
but I'm aiming for xhtml 1.0 conformance and if the pre tag ever
officially had the wrap attribute, it doesn't any more :).

I've noted the white-space property in CSS2, but its possible values are
only normal (as in, disregard whitespace), pre (respect all whitespace,
dont' break lines unless explicitly told) and nowrap (disregards
whitespace, but prevents implicit line breaks). nowrap is pretty much
the exact reverse of what I want, frustratingly.

Is this a lost cause, or am I looking in the wrong places?

Regards,
