myzope - The Pre tag: usability challenge; or how not to side scroll

See this blog? See that we have to side scroll? See how irritating that becomes? Unless you're one of the lucky guys with huge screen estate, most will need to side scroll to view this page.

That's caused by the pre tag. How can we make it so that the pre tag not affect the overall look of a page?

I used to see the use of txtareas to circumvent that, but then, we still need to side scroll.

Any clean solution available? If so, I'm all ears!
