Lenth of lines in html source? andrew 07-07-2008

 Hi,

I have been taken to task about the length of lines in the source html
of:

http://www.slrn.sourceforge.org

which, as I commonly do, has no line breaks at all in the source html.
My editor wraps the code for me when I view it or work with it.

Is it common practice to break the code into screen wide chunks so that
those who wish to view the source html can do it conveniently?

Thanks,

Andrew

I wonder if there's a logical/organizational style difference between
people with even a little programming experience and those who've never
written anything but email and a few college term papers.

No, just an experiential one.
