Comment:
<pre>... Heading heading = Helm.HeadingFactory(HeadingCoordinates[1],
<wbr>HeadingCoordinates[2], <wbr>HeadingCoordinates[3],
<wbr>HeadingCoordinates[4]); Course course = Helm.CourseFactory(Heading,
<wbr>Maps.MapFactoryFromHeading(heading),
<wbr>Speeds.GetMaximumSpeed().ConvertToWarp()); ...</pre>   this example makes
no sense, because inside pre element there will never be a break, since the
author didn´t broke the text with a new line in the editor

Yeah, the example needs to say that this is for white-space:pre-wrap specifically.
Also there's no point having them just after spaces, since those always give line-wrapping opportunities.

Easiest solution seems to remove the example: https://github.com/whatwg/html/pull/911.
