Code block wrap text

I’m a bit surprised that this wasn’t suggested before. Simply put, I deal with long line log entries, and sometimes the one line entry is narrow and long enough to be hard to read even on high resolution screens.

Hi,
I put the following simple style in “Custom stylesheet for rendered Markdown” (Tools > Options > Appearance > Show Advanced Settings), then restart Joplin.

code {
    white-space: pre-wrap;
}

Although Joplin can be used to keep notes of almost every kind, it may not be the best tool for every use-case scenario. Joplin has been designed as an OSS, highly-configurable replacement to Evernote. It is not exactly ideal when storing log files or excerpt from it. There are other tools specifically designed for your use-case. Please also consider looking through those alternatives.

I'm new to Joplin started using it ~ August 2024. I think this is just the cat's meow for documenting my software development which includes a lot of snippets of log files and messy SQL output that are on single lines with no breaks. While the elders of Joplin s may have had specific intentions, let this post serve as notice that this developer thinks is just great for code documentation, especially should I need to share my notebooks with less technically inclined, it's all well formatted and let's me include screenshots. The solution above worked for me and I am thankful.
