If he's writing an open letter, I suggest he makes it possible to read without having to highlight, copy, open a text editor that supports wordwrap, paste, enable wordwrap. Otherwise few people will read it.


Some of us read on screens that have thousands of pixels horizontally. More than 80 characters on a line is just bad form.


In Firefox, View Source -> View -> Wrap Long Lines. Still 3 annoying steps, but its better than 5.


Chrome wordwraps it.


Which means WebKit wordwraps it. So Steve Jobs will have no problem, assuming he's been using the Safari Beta/Developer Preview for months now.


Sure, but the reason it's an open letter is so that others will read it too.


Firefox will wordwrap it if you say "view source".
