When you have the situation in which code is put in `

...

` blocks -- a fairly common practice -- the explicitly set `word-wrap: break-word` on `pre` is problematic, as it will be inherited by the `code` element (in which it tends to be very undesirable).

Two options in my opinion:

* remove the explicit `word-wrap: break-word` on `pre`, or;
* add an explicit `word-wrap: normal` to `code`.
