Request to anyone with write access to lua-users.org

[Peter Odding <peter@...>]

Hi list,

For some years now I've used a user style sheet [1] to enable line 
wrapping for messages in the lua-l archive on lua-users.org. Without 
line wrapping paragraphs end up as a single screen line [2] which 
requires horizontal scrolling back and forth to read every single 
paragraph. I think this only happens with plain text e-mails.

My request is for anyone with write access to the CSS style sheet at 
http://lua-users.org/styles/main.css to please include the following 
seven lines from [3]:

pre {
    white-space: pre-wrap;       /* css-3 */
    white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
    white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */
    white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */
    word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}

The above lines enable wrapping of <pre> elements in most popular web 
browsers which makes the messages in the lua-l archive appear as [4] 
instead of [2] and this improves usability a lot IMHO.

Thanks for reading and of course for hosting the lua-l archive + wiki!
