Most of us print out codes in posts, especially D codes. I use

One of the biggest reason in this problem is the width of tabs.
They
are just unbelievably wide.
CSS has "tab-size" keyword that allows to change to with of
tabs. So,
if the CSS is to be updated for let's say 4 spaces for a tab,
that
will make codes much more good looking I think.
Example:
pre{
tab-size: 4
}

I think the column limit for word wrapping should be increased to
at least 80
