I think you did not explain your issue clearly, then—on GitHub, long lines
and long links are displayed perfectly, as this example with a
434-character line and your originally-mentioned link shows, with no
horizontal scrolling and no special styling:

So if neither what the Emacs screen displays nor what the site you say
you’re publishing to displays is on-topic, I don’t know what is on-topic.
What problem are you trying to solve exactly? A URL showing the horizontal
scrolling would be helpful.
