To rein in the overly long or overly wide code segments (adjust as you like)...
/* Works as expected in Firefox 2.0.x & Opera 9.5.
*/
p.code
{
/*
background-color: #101020 !important;
color: #eee !important;
*/
overflow: auto;
height: 50ex;
/* 'overflow' takes care of the width by itself.
width: 100ex;
*/
}
... personally I do not like the scrolling or empty area thus produced myself, but produces a better compromise in that it allows me to read rest of the posts.
Updated CSS with which I am happy now (adjust "Code Wrap Length" and "Auto Code Wrapping" according to your own tastes) ...
p.code, pre.code
{
/*
background-color: #202025 !important;
color: #eee !important;
*/
overflow: auto;
max-height: 55ex;
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
