What about making long lines wrap around? Some lines in code (such as HTML
tags with a lot of attributes) will be too long to fit on one line, but the
PRE tag prevents text wrap. Based on the website I usually use as a
reference, the width attribute (which sets the maximum characters in a line)
is deprecated, but it does not state what technology is used in it's place.
I can use it, but I prefer not to use deprecated attributes. Any ideas?

(I apologize for sending to multiple newsgroups. I tend to do that because
some groups are rarely used, I don't always know which group is the precise
one I want, and I don't want to subscribe to ALL newsgroups. I will do my
best to lessen this habit)
