I think the doceng team should pronounce about this.

IMHO, use the 72 characters per line would be a problem in the future.


Why it would be a problem?
With the current setup, we can't really use the diff and the commit
logs.  Paragraphs are now single long lines.  For a single character
change, we now commit hundreds of characters instead of 72 in the worst
case in past.  Just from a sustainability point of view, I'm concerned
about that situation.

Hi folks,

Can we make a compromise where real paragraphs, ie. the only things which don't seem to need much in the way of AsciiDoctor markup, are kept at 72 columns, and headings, lists, images, include macros, variables and custom macros are allowed to go beyond the 72 columns? If they have to, there's always word-smithing options for trying to be as concise as possible (without, of course, making things too obtuse - it's a tough balance, admittedly?

That seemed to work for DocBook, so is there a reason it won't work here?

Yours,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
