Recently the Syslinux wiki was updated, currently using a newer version
of mediawiki.
"Pre-formatted" text in the Syslinux wiki is frequently being used to
display commands or configuration entries. The default behavior of
pre-formatted text used to be non-wrapped (among other
characteristics), whereas the current default behavior is that
pre-formatted text is being wrapped (just as "normal" text in the
wiki).
Although there _might_ be valid reasons for upstream mediawiki to
change the default behavior of pre-formatted text, this change affects
the Syslinux wiki in a meaningful way.
I am proposing the following addition:
pre,
.mw-code {
white-space: pre;
}
to:
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Common.css
Such addition should change (back) the default "wrapping" behavior of
pre-formatted text in the Syslinux wiki.
This should affect the default wrapping behavior of:
_ "pre" tags without specific "white-space" styles;
_ lines of common text starting with an initial space character;
in the Syslinux wiki, making the text "non-wrapped" (as it used to be
presented in the Syslinux wiki until the recent update of mediawiki
version).
Any comments / objections?
BTW, the same css hack has been applied to at least one other
mediawiki-based site.
Would the Syslinux wiki admins consider this request, please?
TIA,
Ady.
