@erget - A comment, before I forget, on the single sentence per line item above.

I agree a single sentence is better than line length or just stringing it all 
together.

Another option to consider is "Semantic Line Breaks" which are described in 
this "Semantic Linefeeds" 
[article](https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/) by 
Brandon Rhodes. Which includes a quote from “Hints for Preparing Documents” by 
B.W. Kernighan in 1974:

> Most documents go through several versions (always more than you expected) 
> before they are finally finished. Accordingly, you should do whatever 
> possible to make the job of changing them easy.

> First, when you do the purely mechanical operations of typing, type so 
> subsequent editing will be easy. Start each sentence on a new line. Make 
> lines short, and break lines at natural places, such as after commas and 
> semicolons, rather than randomly. Since most people change documents by 
> rewriting phrases and adding, deleting and rearranging sentences, these 
> precautions simplify any editing you have to do later.
