+ * elgg-body fills the space available to it.
+ * It uses hidden text to expand itself. The combination of auto width, overflow
+ * hidden, and the hidden text creates this effect.
+ *
+ * This allows us to float fixed width divs to either side of an .elgg-body div
+ * without having to specify the body div's width.
+ *
+ * @todo check what happens with long <pre> tags or large images
+ * @todo Move this to its own file -- it is very complicated and should not have to be overridden.
