Line wrapped .md is problematic, because in order to maintain line wrappings you need to re-wrap which makes diffs harder to read. Therefore it was suggested (by @aconradi IIRC) that we keep a less strict policy for md, where we linebreak after each sentence instead of 80 chars. This makes sense to me. But thinking about it, there is not really a problem with breaking both after sentences and before 80 chars. Whether or not this makes sense depends on editor support, I suppose. |

Ok when I write documentation I'll always line wrap anyway as a matter of course, it's just M-q in emacs after all. And the diff modes I've used most (e.g. both Emacs and Github) clearly highlight which words have changed in a paragraph, even if it's reflowed so it seems to not really be a problem. But it is currently hard to look at and edit the markdown source in Emacs since the lines are so long. |
