Bug#612442: www.debian.org: limit maximum width of text

[Lars Wirzenius <liw@liw.fi>]

Package: www.debian.org
Version: n/a

The new site design, rolled out with the squeeze release, is quite
wonderful. I would like to propose, however, that the maximum width of
the text would be limited, for the sake of readability, to something
like 60em. If one has a very wide browser window for other reasons, it
would be nice if the Debian site would still be easily readable.

As an example of such other reasons, I sometimes need to have a very
large image open in one tab, and then switch to a different tab for
Debian content. I could work around this by having the Debian content
open in a separate window, rather than tab, or resize the window when
changing tabs, but it'd be more convenient for me, and I suspect other
readers, to have the Debian CSS to include something like this:

        body { max-width: 60em; }

(Possibly some other element than body would be a better fit.)
