Listen. This is an HN style sheet problem, not user choice problem. The fact is, using the preformatted macro is a better way to highlight verbatim passages of text.
>Your version just mixes in with everything else you typed, and hardly looks like a differentiable block of text at all, regardless of whether it wraps or not.
Hey look! A completely distinct
block of text. And wow! It's
monospaced too! This gives the
impression that it's reprinted
exactly as originally written!
And all I had to do, to make phone
people happy was manually wrap at
maybe, like 30 chars. Amazing!
- Stratoscope 8y agoNope. That didn't work. I still had to scroll, even after all the work you put in to format it. If ">" doesn't differentiate the quote enough, use italics with it: > *Quote here* > Everyone recognizes this as a quote, and it renders perfectly on every device. I didn't have to do any manual wrapping. It's easy! > Use a blank line to separate paragraphs.
