I'd like to see HN get full Markdown support.

I've just added the following rule to my local HN CSS stylesheet (using the Stylus CSS manager):

    pre { white-space: pre-wrap; }
This solves the problem ... on my desktop, on a per-browser basis. I still get fuxnored viewing via mobile.

If you're in a position to use uBlock Origin on mobile (eg, I'm using Firefox for Android), you can use its custom filters to inject arbitrary CSS. Looks like this (from my own filters):

    news.ycombinator.com##.comment pre:style(max-width:none!important)
    news.ycombinator.com##.comment code:style(white-space:pre-wrap)
