Sutta display issues in iOS Safari

In line by line mode (either way) and side by side (which cascades to lbl) the external margin escape off the edge of the screen. I can not zoom out to fit the text.

iOS 18.6.2 iPhone 11 Pro

Is this a known issue, or would a deeper dive be useful?

Is it just that one sutta? I think we have seen that before when there are extremely long words. Some browsers won’t break them and it causes the view area to extend past the screen.

No, but it’s not the same in every sutta.
MN21 and MN23 are awful. MN22 has text right up to the edge of the screen but no over-run.

It is happening because of cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārahetu

I know this has been brought up before, I just don’t remember the resolution.

In MN21, yes. Most likely.

and I’m guessing it’s aniccucchādanaparimaddanabhedanaviddhaṁsanadhammassa in MN23

I don’t know if it was that. I have posted about it before SuttaCentral: bug reports - #194 by Beaver and SuttaCentral: bug reports - #196 by Beaver

Surely someone can fix this with a wee bit of JS based on the DPD compound splitter to drop in a discretionary hyphen. :person_shrugging:

In AN 3.70 naccagītavāditavisūkadassanamālāgandhavilepanadhāraṇamaṇḍanavibhūsanaṭṭhānā automatically just continues on the next line without a hyphen (at least with just «line by line» activated for me).

I think both line by line and side by side worked for me on AN 3.70 on an earlier iOS, but now it zooms in with side by side.
