I found SciTE/scintilla a few months ago, and a few days ago learned
about Geany--it looks good to me--some of the things I was wishing were
part of SciTE seem to be already part of Geany.
But, I have some off-point questions: The manual (at
file:///usr/share/doc/geany/html/index.html) is too wide for me to
reasonably read. I have to scroll horizontally to read each line of
text, even with shrinking the font to the limit in konqueror. (I'm
older, and I generally use larger fonts to make reading easier.)
I could copy and paste the document into an editor (like Geany) where
the lines do wrap to the width of the window, but I lose a lot of the
formatting and conveniences (like links) that way.
I see that the document is written in reStructuredText and then, iiuc,
rendered (is that the right word) using docutils. Does anyone (here)
know how to tell docutils (or reST) how to wrap the text to a narrower
width (shorter line length)?
(I checked a few of the lines and got a character count around 115
characters per line.)
Continuing with similar questions, is there something in the text of the
manual that forces the lines to such a long length, maybe either
pictures or the tables that are included? If so, is there a way to
tell docutils to wrap the rest of the text to a narrower width? (So
I'd only have to horizontally scroll for the pictures or tables?--I
don't really like having to horizontally scroll for those, either, but
it's better than having to horizontally scroll for every line in the
document.)
Or, alternatively, a way to tell docutils to leave the lines unwrapped
so the browser can wrap them to the width of the browser window, while
leaving pictures or tables at their full width?
I did try googling for docutils to find information or someone to ask
there--I didn't find either the information or an obvious contact, so I
thought I'd try here first.
Thanks!
