I took a look and the smaller font doesn’t help enough anyway. But note that it is a “different style” regardless in that it is in a <pre> block to preserve provided formatting (with regards to whitespace, etc).

i think the simplest thing is to give it a “pre-wrap” whitespace style which keeps the whitespace rather than collapsing, but allows lines to wrap. Things get a little ragged, but they fit without scrolling…

In general we can’t assume arbitrary text files will convert nicely to markdown.

World treating text tiles as markdowns (or even converting them to markdowns) be an option?
I really don't like the idea of small/different font sizes...

The problem with that particular README is that it is a text file. Nearly all the readme files these days are in markdown, which wraps. For text files, we do something very basic and render in a <pre> block, which does not wrap. 

To improve display of such readme files I see three options. A) use a smaller font only for pre blocks, so that more text fits, without rewrapping. B) allow text files to rewrap. C) force the content _only_ for such files to always be below a clear, and as such, below the entire properties table. I’m leaning towards A here at the moment. Thoughts?

The new hackage style has nice colors but severe problems w.r.t.
readability. The right column with the package meta data causes the
Readme text to be cut off. This make it almost impossible to read it. I
attached a screenshot for illustration.
