/plugins folder to install it.by Luke Scammell aka [-Stash-]
A simple little extension that enables PRE formatted text (such as CODE and PRE) to wrap onto new lines. It does this by overriding all styles with a simple little style sheet.
I made this extension so I wouldn't have to keep editing all the wonderful styles made by the Lussumo Community each time a revision is made or a new one released. I can't stand horizontal scroll bars and often code examples break out of the styles which looks really shoddy as well. This solves all (most) of that.
! None.
+ Allows admins to make this a user cusomisable choice so they can disable it if they don't want it on. This should be a simple GUI tickbox.
+ Figure out a way to make fx1 and fx2 fake the "word breaking" behaviour that fx3, saf3 and op9 display with pre-wrap an ie4+(!) displays with the proprietary word-wrap: break-word;.
Download and uncompress the extension files, then upload them to:
/path/to/vanilla/extensions/SoftWrap/The path to this extension's default.php file should look like this:
/path/to/vanilla/extensions/SoftWrap/default.phpTo enable the extension you must be logged in with an account that has Administrator priviledges. You can enable the extension in Vanilla by clicking on:
Settings > ExtensionsThen tick the checkbox for "SoftWrap"
SoftWrap+ removed white-space:pre-line; as it wasn't the bevahiour I was looking for.
+ Wasn't working in IE7, fixed. Thanks to Lim Chee Aun for explaining everything and Tyler Longren for the width:99%; IE7 trick.
+ Halved the CSS code required as it was exactly the same for CODE and PRE. Duh!
! white-space:normal; wasn't the perfect solution as it condensed multiple spaces and the like. Now replaced with CSS2.1 white-space:pre-wrap; and the equivalent browser specific cases. Thanks Tero Karvinen.
+ Original release.
