How many of us are coding on a 12" laptop screen though normally? I bumped the limit on the Wiki coding standards to 100, sorry Stewart. :)
It should be noted that lines should be broken up for readability and mergability though, whenever practical. If you are passing 10 arguments to a function/method, you should first question if the method needs to be re-factored, and if not, separate out those arguments on multiple lines. -Eric On Wed, Nov 04, 2009 at 10:24:46AM +1100, Stewart Smith wrote: > On Mon, Nov 02, 2009 at 04:56:38PM -0800, Eric Day wrote: > > So, it appears the style guide says 80 char columns.
