For some types of code, awkward lengths are an acceptable tradeoff. In other computer languages (such as Lisp), the line break isn't very meaningful, and I would like it rebroken if I'm reading on a narrow screen. > - A situation where something outside <code> (i.e. natural language) > definitely shouldn't have normal line breaking rules applied Haiku. <line> (or <l>) would be better for poetry, but it clearly isn't code. -jJ
