: I'm not a CSS hacker, either; I expected browsers to be a little better behaved. I could tweak the highlight extension to add another CSS class based on how wide (in char count) an example is, but that would only work based on assuming a particular window width. I'm open to suggestions from anyone who reads this. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 14:08, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
:: I suggest for width you can probably use 80 columns as a switch point. Classic terminal width! For length, pick a value that's a page or so in your browser (or maybe 66; the classic length of a page of typewritten text). –[[User:Dkf|Donal Fellows]] 14:12, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
:: Try <code>overflow: auto;</code>. In Firefox, this creates scroll bars only as necessary (I tried it out with Firebug, and it works great). [http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visufx.html#propdef-overflow The standard] is vague as to exactly what should happen, but my guess is that most browsers will do what you want. —[[User:Underscore|Underscore]] ([[User talk:Underscore|Talk]]) 15:32, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
