Could be your client. With Sync it properly word wraps, and for myself I actually find this font easier to read

OP, can you please remove the four spaces preceding each paragraph in your post? That syntax is for code formatting. It puts each paragraph into a single line, forcing readers into painstaking horizontal scrolling to be able to read each one. It’s like trying to read a book through a keyhole.

My client is rendering it correctly according to markdown and html specs. If your client is wrapping it, then that’s convenient for you in this case, but it’s violating the spec.

Sync markup/rendering is presently a semi-completed conversion from reddit’s and it’s functional enough.

It doesn’t wrap in the default web interface.

And the default web interface should absolutely be our standard.

Yeah, I love Sync, but currently it’s the last thing I would pick to set a standard

It is not the client, that it is actually how markdown works. Every markdown guide specifically tells to avoid this indentation because its meant for code blocks which by default do not wrap text lines.

They’re talking specifically about the word wrapping. Note in their screenshot it is properly tendered in monosoace code block font.

I know, clients not wrapping lines in codeblocks are also “rendering properly”. Wrapping it’s up to the client’s parser, reason why I noted to use the aproppriate syntax regardless.

The syntax colouring, really doesn’t help though. Standard font looks better for text blocks than a code block.

If it was actually code that isn’t the correct behavior. Code doesn’t line wrap, because blind breaks mean something in most languages so introducing virtual line breaks causes confusion.

Fixed it now, I didn't realize that the copy and paste had those spaces in front.
