Hi,

If you care to take a look at
http://www.st
artux.org/index.php/Apache
you'll see that there are lines that doesn't wrap inside
the box.

Why is that and how can i solve this issue ?

Any help would be appreciated.

Warm Regards,
Mário Gamito

In *wiki markup* lines that start with white space are
treated as 
preformatted text -- text that you do not want the browser
to wrap or 
change in any way. So it does not, on purpose.

If you want the lines to wrap, you need to take the white
space off the 
beginning of each line in the *wiki markup*.

If you want to indent the lines and still have them wrap,
start them 
with colon (, the *wiki
markup* indent marker, but no white space.

You will want to read more about *wiki markup*, for example
here:

Further use of MediaWiki will be frustrating until you read
that.

Good luck and enjoy,

Roger
