 * Thanks for a great plugin which is very useful. I would like to customise it 
   a bit further to make the description wrap according to the page width instead
   of having to scroll from left to right to view longer descriptions.
 * Can you please advise how this can be done? Thanks!

 * Hello karencheah,
    The description should wrap normally on most sites. Could 
   you provide an example where it does not, so I can have a look?

 * Thanks for your response, Apprique. Here’s an example of a page where the description
   is not wrapping.

 * Hi Karencheah,
    The issue that it does not wrap on your site is caused by the
   fact that the whole text is put between `<pre>` and `</pre>` tags. This is usually
   used to display code, where wrapping the text has undesirable results on readability.
   If you like the font, you can solve this by replacing the tags above by `<div
   style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace">` and `</div>`. If you
   actually don’t like the font and prefer your site’s default, just remove the `
   <pre>` and `</pre>` tags.
 * I hope this helps.

 * Thanks, Apprique. You’re spot on! I should have realised that. You have been 
   a great help! Thanks again!
