Instead of making the whole page body a fixed width, we could apply a<br>
fixed width to just the elements that need it. But those are exactly<br>
the elements that you're likely to be reading in the docs, so I don't<br>
think it would change the effective width of the document.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>my approach in case like this is to use horizontal overflow auto scrolling for the monospace font block, so they do not stretch the parent container if they exceed parent container's width. In the case the browser doesn't recognize the attributes it would behave the way you currently have it.<br>
