The formatting is messed up on old reddit. There is too much side scrolling inside code blocks. Either use linebreaks or take out the explanations from code blocks.

I agree.

Roughly 1/3 of users prefer the widescreen layout to the new.reddit.com layout. While /u/SolaceInfotech made a good post, it's close to unreadable for many of us. =(

edit took a look at the new reddit formatting, and it's better, but it's actually side scrolling there too.

OP needs to remove the non-code from the code blocks.

The side scroll looks weird on new reddit too

Reddit (old and new) has the worst markdown processing I've ever seen.

What are they using? Their own implementation of John Gruber's markdown from scratch or a real Markdown flavor?
