Hello,

I have noticed that some of the html files in portal/templates contain
very long lines : entire paragraphs are written on a single line.

This makes it difficult to follow the original text while translating.
(i am using an own-made editor that (apart from the new translated html file)
opens the original file in read-only mode and highlights the current line ).

Also, having long lines can make it harder to understand the changes
when diff-ing.

Therefore i am suggesting the following best practice : in the html files the
lines should have no more than 80-90  characters .


Cheers,
Adrian Maier

I agree on this. My patches are hard to read mainly because of this.

Regards.

Makes a lot of sense if it helps the translators. I'm fine with it as well,
so go ahead and send in a patch for it ;-)
