I also wondering about the "80 character" limitation. To obey this
limitation, I have to break a sentence to multiple lines, which will
introduce several spaces in a whole sentence.
For example:
Apache HTTP Server is configured by placing <a
href="mod/directives.html">directives</a> in plain text
configuration files.
It will look like this in HTML version:
Apache HTTP Server is configured by placing directives in plain text
configuration files.
For english, it is great. But for Chinese and Japanese, it is not so well:
Apache は <a href="mod/directives.html"
>ディレクティブ</a> を設定ファイルに平文で書くことにより設定します。
メインの設定ファイルは普通は <code>httpd.conf</code> という名前です。
->
Apache は ディレクティブ を設定ファイルに平文で書くことにより設定します。 メインの設定ファイルは普通は httpd.conf
という名前です。

指令的参数通过空白符分隔，
如果某一个参数包含空格，你必须使用双引号将该参数包裹起来。

Notice the unnecessary spaces indicating by ^.
Mostly I could make use of xml tags to avoid those space, or hide them by
separating each sentence, so that spaces will be placed after the
period(which will not damaging reading experience much). But if there's a
long sentence without spaces, can I write the whole sentence in a
line(which means breaking the limitation)?
And, please fix the typo in "Make sure all your lines in the xml file dont
exceed the 80 character lenght, so it is easy to read the file."
