Wrapping Example

Paragraph Width

Notice how the paragraphs wrap properly now matter how narrow the browser window? Go ahead, try it…

The Gentoo doc pages won’t re-wrap once the browser window is narrower than the blue listing blocks. On some of the pages those listing blocks get really wide.

Also notice how the paragraphs max-out at a reasonable width when you do widen the browser window to see the entire width of my ridiculously wide listing blocks?

Note	I’m not particularly keen on the way the listing block background is shorter than the listing block content, but that’s beside the point. It’s the paragraph wrapping behavior I’m trying to demonstrate.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Quisque non mauris ut tortor viverra varius. Aenean libero tortor, ultricies nec convallis quis, venenatis sed libero. Duis et urna turpis, ut pretium felis. Nam imperdiet magna ut nulla semper consectetur ac in velit. Donec sit amet nunc risus. In id elit non lorem cursus auctor eu eget nisi.

$ Here "is a really long example of a bash command line with lots" with a rather oddly placed --gnu-style-option="why is this here?"

Suspendisse purus arcu, tempus a pulvinar vel, consectetur hendrerit urna. Aliquam ac arcu tortor, pulvinar dictum tellus. Proin pretium leo ut quam laoreet tempus. Quisque eget leo at elit tempor fermentum. Nulla facilisi. Duis ut mauris ut elit consequat vestibulum. Nullam diam nunc, egestas ut scelerisque eu, dapibus a ipsum. Aliquam erat volutpat. Donec mollis cursus libero, quis lacinia eros vestibulum quis. Morbi vitae placerat justo. Vestibulum consectetur massa et lacus venenatis sit amet tristique massa aliquam. Duis consectetur ullamcorper tortor, sit amet condimentum urna laoreet faucibus. Donec gravida lectus quis nisi porta nec congue ante rhoncus. Sed sed auctor dui. Quisque tempor rutrum leo, ut commodo lorem malesuada auctor.

Notice how these really wide, non-wrapped, "listing" or "literal" blocks don't result in normal paragraphs that are so wide they're impossible to read?

Nam condimentum elit in metus tempor facilisis. Nam elit mauris, viverra quis blandit non, aliquam eget augue. Duis accumsan nibh interdum turpis scelerisque pretium. Aenean sed mi leo. Integer placerat vestibulum orci, a ullamcorper dolor volutpat vel. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra, per inceptos himenaeos. Quisque at justo in arcu luctus ornare eu sit amet quam. Proin ullamcorper vestibulum pharetra. Vivamus elit sapien, aliquet eu dignissim eget, ornare in dui.
