@mirabilos, your bio is breaking layout of Mastodon. 🤣 (No, there is no horizontal scrolling. :D)

@jwo Mastodon is a blight on the Fediverse, so… ce la vieh ;)Write a bugreport.You could also put… pre { overflow-x:scroll !important; }… into ~/.mozilla/firefox/*/chrome/userContent.css, might help (I know I had to do that for Pinafore/Semaphore, the web clients I’m using).

@mirabilos This is so minor (and funny)Â quirk that IÂ even don't feel the need to file a bug report. :DBtw, didn't you leave a leading whitespace there? ;)

@jwo yeah, the whole line is just copied from my webpages, and the <head> is baseline indented one space.

@mirabilos Btw, Mastodon nests <code> in a <pre> there for some reason. Is that valid? Is that a recommended practice? (Is that another Mastodon quirk?) I've never seen that before.

@jwo I’ve long wondered about it as well, and I checked, it apparently is valid, but I still don’t recall ever getting a satisfying explanation for this.I certainly don’t do it, just <pre> has always been enough.

@jwo heh, via https://unstable.systems/@jneen/116302498173795149 I found https://thedailywtf.com/articles/preformatted today, which did make me look them up.<pre> implies “keep whitespace” and “format fixed-width” and is a block-level element.<code> is an inline element that merely adds semantics, so it could be used for e.g. js syntax highlighters to mark where they should colourise. It does not imply monospace formatting.Both go back ways (HTML 3.2 had them).

@mirabilos Yeah, I expect semantics like this and it makes sense, it just feels weird/unusual – and I've seen pretty much all possible inline markup inside <pre>, especially links or some styling. I just didn't expect <code> to be here.

@jwo and especially paired like that, yeah…

@jwo in this case it’s the Markdown renderer built into GotoSocial that’s doing this, btw, and I put full blame onto the Markdownistas for this. (Especially as they also do it for præformatted blocks that just do not contain any code, too.)
