Block indent cuts off content

I will be importing some items from my own talk page to illustrate the problem shortly, but the short of it is that if content is not wrappable (or is an image, say) then if the screen is narrow enough (like a phone) then any textual or image data is lost to the beyond (the edges of the screen) without any scrolling capabilities. :- indentation with <math> as is often paired allows sideways scrolling of the image. So does the display="block" attribute in the math tag. But say for {{math}} or some other situation where indent is required and :-indentation is discouraged, this template is the ideal candidate. Except when the content is too wide. Hellacioussatyr (talk) 16:56, 30 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As stated in my talk page,

the formula on Duality (mathematics) is only partially viewable. The workaround here was to use the display="block" attribute, but <math> isn't the only form of math formatting in use. (The CSS class rules for .block-indent has a rule overflow: hidden. May that have anything to do with this issue?) Hellacioussatyr (talk) 10:51, 1 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Default indent

Why the default indent is chosen so? It is incompatible with the current practice of using : – "most editors have used it almost everywhere for indenting" – which is condemned but very widely used (including WP:MOS itself).

Current usual (:):

x^{n}+y^{n}=z^{n}.

MOS:MATH recommendation (display=block): $x^{n}+y^{n}=z^{n}.$

This template:

x^{n}+y^{n}=z^{n}.

It's not even consistent with <blockquote>:

$x^{n}+y^{n}=z^{n}.$

Maybe a more compatible default should be used? — Mikhail Ryazanov (talk) 22:24, 8 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
