I've noticed recently that the Gentoo handbook web pages are
ridiculously wide. (It seems to me that they didn't used to be, but I
wouldn't swear to that).
For example, look at this page:
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/embedded/handbook/?part=1&chap=2
The normal text paragraphs have lines that average over 160 characters
per line. The generally accepted guideline for line length in order to
maintain good readability is 40-80. The above page's lines are 2-4
times as long as recommended for good readability, and they are in
fact so long that I can't make my browser wide enough to see an entire
line.
Same problem here. The text is not able to reformat below a certain
point, and that point is still too wide. Reading such wide lines of
text is not very comfortable.
