Guidelines text boxes render up to a fixed width and crop the rest #265

I have no idea how this happens, but this is how it looks:

It crops the text to the right, instead of doing text wrapping as it arguably should.

Currently, the only way to fix this is to introduce newline characters inside the paragraphs themselves. This ends up formatting the <p> tags in HTML like this:

<p>
Lorem ipsum dolor sit
amet, consectetur adipiscing 
elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
incididunt
</p>

, which under normal circumstances would not change the presentation of the text: webpages collapse whitespace characters by default.

However, somehow, the page is rendering the paragraph without text wrapping, using these newline characters instead to present line breaks.

We should fix this because this behavior is nonsensical for HTML + CSS and it forces the writers to make presentation decisions for semantic content, which makes contributing extra difficult for no good reason.
