how to enable sane line wrapping of code / other markup

mediawiki versions (tested on) = 1.21.5,1.21.10

To make the long commands wrap, I modified the commonElements.css file in $wikihome/skins/common. Find the section:

pre, code, tt, kbd, samp, .mw-code {
       /*
        * Some browsers will render the monospace text too small, namely Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
        * Specifying any valid, second value will trigger correct behaviour without forcing a different font.
        */
       font-family: monospace, Courier;
}

and add

       white-space: pre-wrap;
       white-space: -moz-pre-wrap;
       white-space: -pre-wrap;
       white-space: -o-pre-wrap;
       word-wrap: break-word;

 text will now wrap.

Note: when upgrading MediaWiki this file may be overwritten, so you may need to make this modification again.
