  Hi

  I’ve got a problem in that the preformatted text is too wide (also, a horizontal scrollbar is being rendered at the foot of the content, but not at the top, so there’s no immediate feedback that there’s potentially a problem; it’s only when you get to the end that you see the scrollbar and think ‘oh, hey, that’s why the text on the right-hand side is being truncated!).

  I’ve checked the help, can’t see anything relevant. I see three other threads in the forum voicing similar concerns, but they’re all closed.

  Problem is demonstrated at this page (using FireFox 10.02.2):

  Any assistance would be cool. I really don’t want to have to reformat the content, if I can avoid that.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Simplest solution: change the opening pre tag (in the HTML editor) to this:
  <pre style="font-size:80%;">

  Thank you, Justpi. That appears to do the trick.
