Forcing wrapping of 'pre' text in the archives

[selena deckelmann-2]

Can we add something like below to the postgresql.org stylesheet get
the archives 'pre' content to wrap properly?

pre {
 white-space: pre-wrap;       /* css-3 */
 white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
 white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */
 white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */
 word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
}

Sorry for the delay.  I was away from home which is where my test
installation is.

Now, I don't know enough about this stuff to make it work on my test
installation.  I tried some simple variations but they don't seem to
work.  Right now the applicable CSS file already has a text wrap block:

#txtArchives a:visited  { color:#00536E; text-decoration: underline; }
#txtArchives pre        { word-wrap: break-word; font-size: 150%; }
#txtArchives tt         { word-wrap: break-word; font-size: 150%; }

I tried removing the second line and replacing it with this block:

#txtArchives pre {
 white-space: pre-wrap;       /* css-3 */
 white-space: -moz-pre-wrap !important;  /* Mozilla, since 1999 */
 white-space: -pre-wrap;      /* Opera 4-6 */
 white-space: -o-pre-wrap;    /* Opera 7 */
 word-wrap: break-word;       /* Internet Explorer 5.5+ */
 font-size: 150%;
}

but it doesn't seem to have any effect on my browser.  I am trying this

FWIW the file I'm modifying is text.css, and the <pre> block is inside
<div id="txtArchives">.

Which browser? (I'm just waiting for you to say IE 4 or something)

And for future reference:

I found this too:

 _white-space: pre;   /* IE only hack to re-specify in addition to word-wrap  */

Here's perhaps a more authoritative source:

Epiphany, the Gecko-based version.  It's 2.26.3 (Gecko 1.9); not that
old, I'd say.

Wow, that's obscure.
