Hi folks,

Can we make a compromise where real paragraphs, ie. the only things 
which don't seem to need much in the way of AsciiDoctor markup, are kept 
at 72 columns, and headings, lists, images, include macros, variables 
and custom macros are allowed to go beyond the 72 columns?
If they have to, there's always word-smithing options for trying to be 
as concise as possible (without, of course, making things too obtuse - 
it's a tough balance, admittedly?

That seemed to work for DocBook, so is there a reason it won't work 
here?

Yours,
Daniel Ebdrup Jensen
