One of the more extreme examples is http://ant.apache.org/ivy/history/trunk/tutorial/build-repository/advanced2.html > That's not terribly hard to read for me. It's not "hard", but simply inconvenient for the eyes to have to "jump" a long distance from the end of a line to the beginning of the next. Newspapers and magazines use a column layout for a reason. Also books and other print media exceeding a certain page width. > On the other hand, forcing the example output or code samples to > wrap might cause some confusion, especially among those who are > trying to get started.
