Unfortunately, specifying an unknown language doesn't work either. E.g.:

```{.code}

abracadabra abracadabra

abracadabra abracadabra

abracadabra abracadabra

```

Outputs something like:

<pre class="code"><code>...</code></pre>

Without newlines. However, if I change `code` to e.g. `haskell`, the output would be:

<div class="sourceCode">

<pre class="sourceCode haskell">

<code class="sourceCode haskell">...</code>

</pre>

</div>

This includes newlines.

Try to use `code` as a "language" (actually a class) on your code blocks, or something else which is unlikely to ever become the name of a highlighted language. Pandoc will make it a class on the HTML code tag but will otherwise ignore it.

I use Pandoc to convert MD files to HTML. Inside MD, I use this:

```

abracadabra abracadabra

abracadabra abracadabra

abracadabra abracadabra

```

(In reality, the lines are much longer.)

Then I style my HTML using CSS and want to add horizontal scrolling. Specifying a language for the code block works fine because Pandoc automatically inserts newlines I guess. But if the code block is without a language (such as the one above), my final code block in HTML just wraps as ordinary text and I can't fix it.

I tried --wrap=preserve but with no effect. Any ideas?
