  • Why isn't this webpage using the full width

    The title says it all.

    <https://prino.neocities.org/resources/lift.pli.html> is using about half the screen, which I actually find quite pleasing, as seeing it spread over 45 cm on my full HD monitor makes reading it hard(er), but I'm just puzzled as for the why.

    It's pretty much plain text (white-space: pre;), with just a few tags to simulate the highlighting that's generated by z/OS ISPF, and CTrl+ will scale it.

    The text is preformatted with a line length of 71 chars so it will
    occupy as much width as needed for the font size (default). If you had
    wanted it to fit/scale to the viewport, something like this could be
    added to your CSS for the body:

    font-size:2vw;

    But see here for improvement: <https://css-tricks.com/simplified-fluid-typography/>

    Because it is preformatted text which will *not* flow but stay as it is.
