 Hi mttp, thanks for the patch!

 One thing, however:

 Python code goes in `.py` files; Javascript in `.js` files; HTML in
 `.html` files. The HTML templates for the web interface are in
 `lib/bridgedb/templates`, and the spot that you want is
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/templates/bridges.html#l17
 here]. However, you may need to change the associated `div.bridgelines`
 CSS class to fix it
 ([https://gitweb.torproject.org/bridgedb.git/blob/HEAD:/lib/bridgedb/templates/assets/css/custom.css#l106
 here]).

 The reason this bug is occuring is that BridgeDB used to use
 `<code>/<pre>` tags to enclose the bridge lines. Then, when we started
 giving out bridge lines which included the fingerprint, using `<code>`
 made the line wrap around, causing the fingerprints to look like they were
 on new lines by themselves. I created the `div.bridgelines` class to fix
 this, but I'm no CSS wizard.
