[Haskell-cafe] hackage style

[Gershom B]

I took a look and the smaller font doesn’t help enough anyway. But note
that it is a “different style” regardless in that it is in a <pre> block to
preserve provided formatting (with regards to whitespace, etc).

i think the simplest thing is to give it a “pre-wrap” whitespace style
which keeps the whitespace rather than collapsing, but allows lines to
wrap. Things get a little ragged, but they fit without scrolling…

In general we can’t assume arbitrary text files will convert nicely to
markdown.

World treating text tiles as markdowns (or even converting them to
markdowns) be an option?
I really don't like the idea of small/different font sizes...
