I have a large amount of text that is getting pulled from a file. It looks
something like this:

'large amount of text 90+ characters long

large amount of text 90+ characters long

large amount of text 90+ characters long'

If I don't enclose the text in a <pre> tag, all the CRLFs are stripped and
all the text runs together. If I do put it in a <pre> tag, the text goes
off the right side of the screen and causes a scroll bar to appear on the
browser (due to where the text is positioned, by necessity, on the page).
So is there something I can do, using CSS or anything else, that gives me
the best of both worlds? That will (effectively) keep the CRLFs and also
wrap the text?

thnx,
Christoph
