Which Document page:

Various

Expected results:

Consistent hard wrapped lines (80 column), or consistent long lines that assume editor word-wrapping.

Actual results:

A mix of hard wrapped and long lines between rst files, and within them in some cases.

What is the desired behavior? Is it hard-wrapped lines, or long lines?

Arghh - I meant to discuss this with the people who have been writing most of the doc.

I prefer hard wrapped 80, but that's since I am mostly writing markdown and linting which will complain if it's not wrapped.

@ikaneshiro - any preference?

@dctrud Hard wrapped at 80 seems better reasonable to me. Do we have a markdown linter in the CI for this repo?

I also agree; hard wrapping to 80 characters per line. Its way nicer to review/edit when lines are limited. Otherwise it gets annoying having to scroll thought a 300+ character line, Imo.

I'm hard wrapping 80 as I go. I still haven't found something nice to lint this and allow long lines where necessary for code blocks, links etc.

I'm editing in emacs fwiw, and fill-paragraph M-q works nicely on RST without messing up any syntax or adding breaks to references etc.
