Hi!

The page http://mercurial.selenic.com/ has a "Quick Start" column to
the right. But for as long as I can remember my browsers (Firefox,
Safari and Chrome) fail to show the full text of the example. The
first line show up as something like:

    $ hg clone http://selenic.com/re

I had to use "View Source" in my browser to find out that it actually
is meant to show:

    $ hg clone http://selenic.com/repo/hello

It would be nice if this was fixed. This page is the top hit when I
google "mercurial", and it is a bit unfortunate that the example
"doesn't work".

The CSS used on the page seem to use a very "fixed" layout. Isn't that
kind of bad in general for the web? First I tried to find out how the
problem could be fixed, but I realize I don't now CSS (and/or
Javascript?) well enough.

So since the page says "Please send any kind of patches, suggestions
and comments to either the Mercurial mailinglist or directly to us.",
this was my comment ....
