Is anyone aware that using code formatting for non-code is extremely annoying because, on mobile, it’s almost impossible to read because of the necessity to side scroll.

That's a HN CSS problem, not a problem of code formatting. They should fix it. Meanwhile, on mobile one can use one of the 10s of HN client apps.

  The point of the “code” formatting is so that the text doesn’t wrap.

    That doesn't mean the code styled div should also not be scrollable in mobile devices or be beyond the edge.

Yes, everyone's aware. It's mentioned every time it's used. No one cares. Making a frictionless mobile site lowers the barrier to entry.

> using code formatting for non-code is extremely annoying Even for code it is annoying because of the wide margins. The margins take up about 50% of the width of the screen (!)
