For purposes of reviewing diffs, it can be nice to have each sentence, or paragraph, on a single line, so that inserting a word doesn’t produce diffs on unrelated lines that are logically unaffected.
However, it does mean that editors needs to be set up for visual line wrap. Will this be a problem for anyone?
I can provide pointers for emacs, and I think vscode can be taught to act more like word processors do?
It is the recommended practice for the standard itself, although widely ignored, for anyone wondering if this is common or new.
I will take the position to go against this rule unless we can find a well maintained linter that can help us to enforce this.
Look like there were previous attempts to implement this into markdownlint, the markdown linter we are using. However it looks like they are not being actively maintained anymore.
