From 24c7008f16f6cbf9e9681c2469d33ae0cde8994f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John McNamara Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 15:09:40 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] doc: change line length limit in contributors guide The DPDK documentation guidelines state that lines should be wrapped as follows: * The recommended style for the DPDK documentation is to put sentences on separate lines. This allows for easier reviewing of patches. ... * Long sentences should be wrapped at 120 characters +/- 10 characters. They should be wrapped at words. http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/contributing/documentation.html#line-length However, in practice, users almost never submit doc patches in this format. Instead most users wrap their doc patches at 80 characters. This patch updates the documentation contributors guide to reflect this as the recommended guideline.
