Sage cell and loooooooooong answers

[kcrisman]

A colleague was trying out Sage cell and came across the following annoyance.

http://sagecell.sagemath.org/?z=eJwrSyzSUC9LLMpMTMpJNVSAsYzgLGM4y0Rdk6s4P6csVUMhGq5DqyLOWEEboQ_IN0LiG2tVIPFMFGxtFQxidRQqFDQB414nfw==&lang=sage

In particular, the answer

[x == -1/2*(I*sqrt(3) + 1)*(1/6*sqrt(-1/3*variable2^2*variable3^2 + 4/3*variable1*variable3^3 + 9*variable1^2*variable4^2 + 2/3*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3)*variable4)/variable1^2 - 1/54*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3 + 27*variable1^2*variable4)/variable1^3)^(1/3) - 1/3*variable2/variable1 - 1/18*(variable2^2 - 3*variable1*variable3)*(-I*sqrt(3) + 1)/(variable1^2*(1/6*sqrt(-1/3*variable2^2*variable3^2 + 4/3*variable1*variable3^3 + 9*variable1^2*variable4^2 + 2/3*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3)*variable4)/variable1^2 - 1/54*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3 + 27*variable1^2*variable4)/variable1^3)^(1/3)), x == -1/2*(-I*sqrt(3) + 1)*(1/6*sqrt(-1/3*variable2^2*variable3^2 + 4/3*variable1*variable3^3 + 9*variable1^2*variable4^2 + 2/3*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3)*variable4)/variable1^2 - 1/54*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3 + 27*variable1^2*variable4)/variable1^3)^(1/3) - 1/3*variable2/variable1 - 1/18*(variable2^2 - 3*variable1*variable3)*(I*sqrt(3) + 1)/(variable1^2*(1/6*sqrt(-1/3*variable2^2*variable3^2 + 4/3*variable1*variable3^3 + 9*variable1^2*variable4^2 + 2/3*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3)*variable4)/variable1^2 - 1/54*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3 + 27*variable1^2*variable4)/variable1^3)^(1/3)), x == (1/6*sqrt(-1/3*variable2^2*variable3^2 + 4/3*variable1*variable3^3 + 9*variable1^2*variable4^2 + 2/3*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3)*variable4)/variable1^2 - 1/54*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3 + 27*variable1^2*variable4)/variable1^3)^(1/3) - 1/3*variable2/variable1 + 1/9*(variable2^2 - 3*variable1*variable3)/(variable1^2*(1/6*sqrt(-1/3*variable2^2*variable3^2 + 4/3*variable1*variable3^3 + 9*variable1^2*variable4^2 + 2/3*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3)*variable4)/variable1^2 - 1/54*(2*variable2^3 - 9*variable1*variable2*variable3 + 27*variable1^2*variable4)/variable1^3)^(1/3))]

has over two thousand characters in ONE line.

Note that in your email or web reader, there is natural wrapping that happens, as well as command line Sage and sagenb.  But not in Sage cell.  Is there any default that would be appropriate here?  I'm sure there is something nice for embedded instances from CodeMirror, my point is that the default Sage cell page behaves this way.  It makes it nearly unusable for certain kinds of settings.

Thanks for any ideas,

I would suggest to add this CSS setting:

.sagecell_sessionOutput pre {
margin: 0;
white-space: pre-wrap;
}

I would suggest to add this CSS setting:

.sagecell_sessionOutput pre {
  margin: 0;
  white-space: pre-wrap;
}

That does seem to work, trying it out in my browser's web inspector.

Can anyone think of any bad effects that would cause for people using the Sage cell server?  Would it be confusing if there were two lines of output?  E.g. http://sagecell.sagemath.org/?q=iubuhb
