Please try to “wrap text” or “justify” stuff like this or oversized pics, it plays heck on a mobile device, shrinking everything in the thread batch to accommodate the off-edge stuff...

TKS :-)

Willing and happy to oblige....

but I’m the Sorcerer’s Apprentice here. Also an HTML Idiot.

I put together a post early in the thread and it previewed

as mushed together gruel. I had just put that magic

<pre. off pre html instruction into my files, and used that.

It worked, and I was tickled - but the right margins went east to Dallas.

The Brooms are carrying water into my basement and I’m drowning! I NEED HEEEEEELLLLLLP!!!!

I achieved the smaller page just now simply by hitting return at smaller intervals.

My apologies to everyone, as it is likely I am the Culprit.

I know. I chased them there and beyond.

Thanks for posting it.

I'm one of the afficianados of the HTML <pre> </pre> tag pair;

However, I've never figured out how to force line breaks/carriage returns/text wraps from within the FREditor -- without manually inserting them...

Help with that would be highly appreciated!!!

~~~~~~~~~~

I also am a user of the width="NN%" parameter for photos -- especially since it automatically scales the height to maintain correct aspect ratio,

Since I don't view my posts on a phone, I simply use widths that look "right" in the FREditor "Preview". Do you folks with phones have problems with 75% width?

PHONE USERS: What width % is the maximum that works for you?

ThanQ!!

Oh, I used to do it with some regularity. It beat “preview post” into my skull :-)
