I normally use hard line breaks, for some reasons: * I use 'grep' a lot. grepping long lines is problematic, at best * It is easier to comment/uncomment short lines, or to add remarks * Editor navigation is somewhat easier. Home/End are not very useful for long lines * line numbers in TeX warnings and errors make more sense * easier to copy and paste to my e-mail client All very personal preferences, just use what you like best Cheers, taco
