What's rendered weird specifically, on your system?
I'm always very puzzled when I have to do HN quoting/bullet points, so I thought 80-columns code would fit well (evidently, it doesn't).
I also wonder why HN doesn't improve formatting, which has at least a couple of very common problems (the mentioned code and bullet points rendering).

- bryanrasmussen 9y agoit's formatted as code, which is slightly weird but does not really decrease legibility for me.

- u801e 9y agoOn my mobile, the text is cut off after the 25th character on each line and the browser doesn't render a horizontal scrollbar preventing me from seeing the right half of each line. It would be nice if MIME format=flowed was a thing for quoted text on web pages that otherwise would be hard-wrapped.
- emacsgifs 9y agoWhen you indent the text by two spaces it renders as a pre block. On mobile this will mean only about 35 columns are visible at once.
