I have a couple of "problems" I wasn't able to figure out on my own until now, so I decided to ask here.

I have the habit of keeping my logs in the exact same style as the MU* they are logged from (which is why I'm so happy about the HTML color logging option). Now, in order to keep all the nifty spacing intact, I would have to log each line of output as <pre> text; that, however, would mean that lines won't get wrapped by the browser. On the other hand, if I log with Courier New, it messes with the spaces. Hence the question:

Is there a way to have the log wrap at the exact same point as the original output (80 in my case)?

You raise an interesting point.

At present logs discard newlines, so that a paragraph is still a paragraph (eg. in a word processor) and not arbitrarily wrapped at column 80.

I don't think there is an easy way to solve that problem at present. I might have to add an option to log "as is", if that is what you want.

That would indeed help to solve it. It is a pain in the ass^H^H^Hneck, having to insert linebreaks manually in <pre>, or working with tabs and &nbsp; in normal Courier New HTML just to get the spacing right. :)

OK, I have added that as suggestion #413.
