I dont think you understand, I w= ant what I work on and publish to be readable.
On my own system thats easy enough, and your method would work fine. But if= you
publish to GitHub or other sites, they have their own view of what a proper=
display should be.

For example with GitHub, you dont get to choose tab width, and you dont get= to
choose wrapping modes. GitHub uses 8 width tabs, and doesnt wrap at all. So= if
you have any long lines you have to horizontal scroll, and if you dont like= tab
width then you need to use spaces.

Granted I could just set some user CSS, but then anyone else visiting my pa= ges
wont get the benefit of that.

I would please ask that you not comment further on this off topic discussio= n.
Unless you have an on topic comment regarding breaking long links I am not<= br> interested, thank you.

I think you did not explain your issue clearly, then=E2=80=94on GitH= ub, long lines and long links are displayed perfectly, as this example with= a 434-character line and your originally-mentioned link shows, with no hor= izontal scrolling and no special styling:=C2=A0

So if neither what the Emacs screen displays nor what the sit= e you say you=E2=80=99re publishing to displays is on-topic, I don=E2=80=99= t know what is on-topic. What problem are you trying to solve exactly? A UR= L showing the horizontal scrolling would be helpful.
