I just switched one of my Site.AuthUser pages to (:linebreaks:) rather 
than the "leading spaces preformat" and it actually helps me immensely.

Because some of the groups are very large, the Site.AuthUser page was 
unreadably wide and when I tried to edit it, the edit window opened at 
the same width as the displayed page. This may be a "feature" of Gemini 
12, which is the skin I am using.

In any case, (:linebreaks:) makes both the displayed page and the edit 
page default to the window width. Yay! I can see the stragglers without 
scrolling.

I still prefer the courier font for readability, but I presume I can use 
a wikistyle to get that back without the ultra-wide page.
