Formatting and Decimal column[edit]

I added a <wbr> tag to the decimal representation of deadbeef-dead-beef-dead-beef00000075, to allow the line to break. Without it, the 39-character value caused the Decimal column to be wide enough to fit that value on a single line. This meant that the table spilled over and covered the Tools sidebar on the right of the screen (on my Macbook Air - I'm assuming this would also be a problem for other computers with similarly sized screens). With this line break, the Decimal column is much narrower.

If there's another, clearer way to represent a decimal number too long to fit on a single line, someone can change it to match that (a couple of quick google searches weren't enough to turn up an existing convention if one exists). Jacobdgm (talk) 12:14, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
