As the PRE is picking up the width property from the parent div, you
need to add another width property to your "#main pre" declaration to
force it to wrap to the size you specify.

I inserted "width:20%;" and found it would be kept as wide as its
content but would collapse as appropriate.

There's probably a much more elegant way to do this but I'm not sure
what it is...
