I'm proposing this on behalf on John Gardner, who raised it in a Savannah ticket[1].
I asked him: >> What do you expect the semantics of an output line length of zero to >> be? He said: > Like this: > > This is your line-length > > This > is > your > line- > length > on > drugs > > Basically, print as many characters as you can fit up until the next > break opportunity (which could be whitespace or a hyphenation > opportunity, depending on hyphenation settings). This would be an extension to the semantics of the output line length; Heirloom Doctools troff (at least) instead clamps the output line length to the horizontal resolution. Does anyone have any thoughts on or objections to this? Regards, Branden [1] https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61089
