Please don't use code blocks for quotations. It ruins display/readability on mobile.

it feels like this is the 1.23E23th time I've read this - wouldn't it be time for HN to fix the css to make code-tags more readable (especially on mobile)?!

Sounds nice in theory, but the intention of code block is to capture how code looks--including where the lines break. That aspect of code blocks isn't broken.

The problem is people who use code blocks for what it wasn't intended to do-display quoted content.

Perhaps HN can add support for quotes, but even now there's nothing difficult with indicating a quote by adding a ">" to the start of the paragraph. Most, if not all, of HN readers will know what that means.

Code tags should not mess with line length. Instead you should quote formatting (`>`) for quotes (which HN doesn't support so it's all a bit moot).

He's quoting the font from catch 22 as well.

I created a browser extension that fixes that:

Please don't use mobile. Mobile form factor limitations are ruining the web.

People look at me funny when I take my laptop to the bathroom, though.
