[news.eclipse.newcomer] Re: Ident, not Format, in XML files

Raul,

I'm stuck by the following thought: surely if a tool is going to split 
lines, it will give one the ability to control the line width.  Assuming 
that's true, one could set the line width to a really large number such 
that lines would not be broken at all.  I wonder where the flaw in my 
thinking lies?
