:That just puts in a scrollbar. I don't think that's what you want though is it? --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 20:19, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
::I don't know if more than that would be such a good idea. If a language or compiler has a max line length, then sure, but, for example, [[QBasic]]'s limit is 255 characters (I think). (Granted, I don't know what a person would do that ''requires'' such a long line, but that's not the point.) If such a limit were to be set, then all the code would have to be reviewed by '''someone''' for lines over the limit, and then edited (one way or another).
::For that matter, I can imagine puzzles and/or tasks where long lines would be a Good Thing<sup>TM</sup> (e.g. I could do a [[quine]] in a very few lines, if I were to cram several instructions onto each line... it wouldn't be pretty). -- [[User:Eriksiers|Eriksiers]] 20:25, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
