Please respect line length limitation in www.debian.org source
Hi all,
I recently added Michael Ablassmeier's German translation of
www.debian.org/security/audit/faq
and noticed that files related to the Security Audit Project consist
of one long line of text ...
... not really, but I found indeed lines with more than 300 characters.
Please avoid using such long lines. CVS which is used to manage *.wml
files is line oriented, similar to diff and patch. It's very hard to
find a difference in two very long lines which differ only in small
pieces. Even fancy utilities such as vimdiff, mgdiff, xdiff, tkdiff,
kompare, ... are not very useful in these cases!
I will try to fix this, but it is not easy since it may confuse
translators, who want to update outdated translations and have to
analyse these diffs.
PS: Maybe we should not give people write access without pointers to
style guides and www.debian.org/devel/website. I also suggest that
people send patches to this list before they get write access.
Jens
