Hello
I use Elinks for most of my web browsing, in a TUI-only environment with a
screen set up as 25 rows and 80 cols. Some pages are coded in a way that
makes the lines longer than the terminal screen. Look for instance at
this link: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=785772>, and
look for the comments a bit down. The key W, for toggle wrapping of text,
does have no effect on such pages.
I don't have fix, but have noticed this too on certain pages. I've
only just figured out though (thanks to your example) that this is
because of the use of the <pre> tag on these pages. Elinks (probably
somewhat correctly?) seems to refuse to wrap these.
One hacky fix (what I might try first) is to use Lua, etc to re-write
problematic pages and swap the <pre> tags for something else.
The proper fix I'm really not sure on because you shouldn't really
wrap <pre> tags. I guess these web pages use CSS to override the
default behaviour of <pre> and Elinks isn't clever enough to do this.
