The easily-copyable "SHOWFOR" textfield examples on the above page are constrained, length-wise, and produce horizontal scrollbars; IMHO, we should give them more default width, if we can (without having them wrap lines).

(Horizontal scrollbars in a page are teh lame.)

There's no way to make the width long enough for this, since there has to be room for the right sideboxes.  Recommend making it 2 lines, reassigning to KB articles. (Not a new design issue)

These just use the {CODE} tag; so I assume you want the {CODE} tag to wrap to fit. Is is not considered to be a bad thing for text enclosed in code tags to automatically wrap to fit in the window?

Yeah, on second thought, I can't think of an elegant solution either; feel free to wontfix?
