Hello,

I have noticed that some of the html files in portal/templates contain
very long lines : entire paragraphs are written on a single line.

This makes it difficult to follow the original text while translating.
(i am using an own-made editor that (apart from the new translated html file)
opens the original file in read-only mode and highlights the current line ).

Also, having long lines can make it harder to understand the changes
when diff-ing.

Therefore i am suggesting the following best practice : in the html files the
lines should have no more than 80-90 characters .

Cheers,
Adrian Maier
