[geeklog-devel] Handling of exceptionally long linesthatbreakthevisual flow of the page

[Michael Jervis]

Jessica,

I think what Rob was suggesting was using Operator AI.

So, we already have [code] and now [raw] tags in stories for
pre-formatted stuff. Author's putting stuff that they need to auto
scroll would have to enter in the HTML Story mode:

<div class="dealwithmynbspsplease">
</div>

And the dealwithmynbspsplease class would be defined in your style for
your theme.

At least, I think that's what Rob was suggesting. He may have been
suggesting a [magicwrapping] tag of course.

Again, as your issue can be resolved to your satisfaction for your
site with adding CSS to your theme, I'd suggest that's the best
solution given a Geeklog Enforced solution appears to immediately
cause problems for other people
