Both languages are free-format so there is no problem here. Anyway, I was
never suggesting that you butcher author's code snippets in order to
fit them into a certain screen size. However, you could come up with
a requirement for code snippets not to exceed a line length of, say, 72. This
should render fine in fairly small windows with a readable Courier font. For
book production, you'll quickly have too long lines anyway (I've hardly seen
any computer books that'll fit 80 characters of monospaced font on a line
within the margins).
Asking authors to take a bit of care so that their output becomes better
usable is hardly unrealistic, I'd say.
(and this is the last thing I'm posting on the topic before we start flaming
:-))
