Ask HN: Should HN fix “code” formatting for mobile?

1 pointmrep0 comments

From the formatting docs [0]: Text after a blank line that is indented by two or more spaces is reproduced verbatim. (This is intended for code.)

Text formatted for code is super annoying to read on mobile as it puts everything in line so you have to scroll a ton back and forth to read anything.

Do you guys agree that it should be fixed? Here is a recent example that annoyed me [1] and it seems to be annoying for many others [2].
