From f2679ac773899f5fdea0b68d5077eef5f88dfd42 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rito Rhymes Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 11:14:01 -0400 Subject: docs: allow inline literals in paragraphs to wrap to prevent overflow Some documentation pages contain long inline literals in paragraph text that can force page-wide horizontal scroll overflow and break layout on smaller screens. Override the default `span.pre` white-space behavior for inline literals and use `overflow-wrap: anywhere` so they can wrap when needed. For code used as part of a paragraph, wrapping is appropriate because it is stylistically part of the surrounding text. Code blocks, by contrast, are meant to preserve formatting fidelity and are better served by contained horizontal scrolling.
