while I was probably hopelessly adding back to the community over in ... links install area ... I noticed that my post ended up spreading out to the right a bit.

Which made me think of my handy-dandy text editor that let's you soft wrap the lines (or would you say virtual wrap ??) well either way ... I thought it would be nice for formatting purposes to have this ability.

any one else?

Perhaps the way the CODE tag is implemented should be changed or maybe a new tag. I'd prefer codes to be placed in a textarea field. That way it's easier to copy & paste to an editor (especially since MSIE doesn't know how to handle copying right).

Like this?

That's simply how a <pre> works - it doesn't wrap. Although it has a downside of causing a post to scroll to the right, it does work correctly for people pasting code - having it wrap any long lines of code would be a real pain.
