$Greetings

please stand by

Why not try a couple long lines first. One big problem I had while trying to figure out this layout is exactly how to deal with preformatted text. Since I intend to be pasting lots of code snips and whatnot, I wanted to get this right… The trickiest part is what to do when the user bumps the browser font size up or down. With preformatted fonts, it tends to get either too small or too big rather quickly. Since the pre tag is by definition not going to wrap, ever, it’s pretty impossible to let the user scale the font more than one size in either direction and maintain both readability and containment in the bounding box. What would be really nice is the ability to make text exempt from browser scaling…
