Currently there are two different styles for command line text on the pages - the <pre> and <p> style. I would like if we use the same style for all command line text and source code examples. > We don't really should use a monospace font (usually wide) The monospace font shows that either source code or command line text is shown.

Actually the proper way to include command line text would be <kbd>... and for source code <code>... I have played around with this but came not to a satisfying solution. The problem I have with the current solution is that it uses a mix of different tags. Sometimes <pre> is used and sometimes <p>. Looking at the plain layout you cannot distinguish between normal text and the command line text formated with the <p> tag. That's why I suggested <pre> with the linebreak option. If stylesheets are used by the browser and the layout we can allow a line break within the <pre> tag by providing a css class. If not the user has to life with a wide page but recognizes command line text and source code.
