Cannot find anyplace to tell a page to wrap within browser margins, so one does not have to slide it back and forth to read each line.

Cannot find anyplace to tell a page to wrap within browser margins, so one does not have to slide it back and forth to read each line::::::::::::

Yes, there are so many pages on-line that -- when made small enough to fit within the margins so one does no have to use a scroll bar on EVERY line, moving it back and forth, back and forth -- look like a FINE-print Bible page (!! tiny !!) if you keep reducing it to fit within the margins.

ALL because we cannot find a place to tell it to WRAP to FIT. Could have sworn I've seen some feature like that somewhere at one time, but if it is here, I cannot find it.

Thank you.

Maybe use a style.

Add code to userContent.css

body, body *{ white-space:pre-wrap!important; word-wrap:break-word; }

You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.

How can you add a "code" to a page someone else has created, so it's readable without scrolling back and forth for every line?

And if you're telling me to add it somewhere to the browser file, I've no idea, as I've not heard of adding "code" to a browser!

So, this didn't help much. Could you please explain more?

Thank you.

With many people having wide screen displays most pages won't fit in a window if you make it small.

If there is only text then you might be able to overcome this by adding custom CSS style rules, but that may be difficult on pages that have a complicated DOM structure or use fixed widths for elements.

You can try the Stylish forum.
