Everyone [Better format problem solution]: steve posted: ... > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not post long lines like that. It causes SI to make the page wider than normal, which can be quite inconvenient. Apparently, SI posters do this to try to deal with the problem in which an article cut from some other web page and pasted to SI shows up ragged like this: dfasdf asdfasdf sadfsadfsdf dfdf asd asd asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdf asdfdff asdfasdf as asdf asdf asdfddf asdfsdfd dfdf asdfsd sdfadf If so, then solve the problem at the source: Make your browser window narrower before you copy the text. If you make it narrow enough, your post on SI won't end up ragged. Narrowing your browser window will wrap the original text at shorter line lengths. Then, when you copy the displayed text (which copies the line breaks computed based on your browser window's current width), and paste to SI's submission form (which keeps those line breaks), the lines will not overflow SI's normal box width, and will not result in ragged, short, leftover lines. Then, of course, you won't need to try to force SI to be wider and thereby inconvenience SI readers who already have their browser windows set at a comfortable width for normal SI posts. Daniel
