Page format problem
Authored by: googoo on Apr 27, '07 10:46:23AM

This is not related to the hint content--only the way it is displayed. For some reason this page does not wrap to my window width in Safari or Firefox (most annoying). The other hint pages look fine. Please fix this!

Page format problem

The reason is because of the long command line examples in ptone's message. Evidently, text inside a code tag does not wrap.

Page format problem

Could someone edit the above comment to add some line-wrapping? To shorten a command add a backslash where you want to introduce line-breaks - that will allow the line returns to work if a user copies the command and pastes into Terminal.

Also, the original site (and the post copied here) include some funny Unicode characters that LOOK like spaces, but when copied to the Terminal introduce escaped characters: backslash302 and backslash240. It means the command doesn't work. Basically, I recommend TYPING in the command carefully by hand, paying attention to the backtick (left of the '1' key) as opposed to single-quote characters, etc.
