Description

Improves table and header text layout on narrow viewports without removing the table overflow behavior needed for genuinely wide content.

  • Keeps mobile tables sized to their content instead of forcing full-width layout with large empty space inside the table border.
  • Caps inline-block tables to the available width so oversized tables can still fall back to horizontal scrolling.
  • Adds wrapping for long EIP preamble metadata, including long author names and discussion links to prevent the container from having horizontal scroll overflow.
  • Allows EIP header text to wrap before it creates horizontal scroll overflow.
  • Gives proposal listing titles a stable minimum width to remain readable on small screens.
  • Caps proposal listing author cells so one long author entry does not expand the whole table.

Closes #6
Closes #7

header-text-overflow fix

Add a .wrap-anywhere utility and apply it to the EIP preamble table so
long author and metadata values break before they overflow the header
layout. Also allow the header hgroup itself to wrap on narrow viewports.
Keep mobile tables sized to their content instead of forcing full-width
layout with significant empty space inside the table border.

Cap inline-block tables to the available width so oversized tables can
still fall back to horizontal scrolling.

Give the proposal listing title column a minimum width so it stays
readable when the table shrinks, and cap the author column so one long
author name does not expand the whole row.
