code quotes haven't had a horizontal scroll on HN for months (years?)

I remember that it used to scroll horizontally on mobile and was actually surprised when I saw the GP comment was wrapped even though it was formatted as code. Not sure whether I haven’t noticed the change before or if I saw it but forgot about it – either way I think it must be a relatively recent change.
I still prefer code formatting to only be used for code snippets, commands and command outputs though.
For quotes I like leading each quoted paragraph with a “>” sign and a space. Like we do in plain text emails. Same kind of thing that they talk about in http://catb.org/jargon/html/email-style.html

Same, when I saw it on a PC. Originally I saw it on a mobile app‡, which still uses horizontal scrolls - hence my comment.
