#16 Indicate on diffs if a line is longer than 80 characters

[Nathanial Drake]

A cool feature would be to have the diffs somehow show
if a line goes over 80 characters (it could be
configurable). One of the things we look for in
reviews is compliance with coding standards (one of
which is an 80 column limit).

Thanks!

Hi there,

This has been asked before - I'll add this email to the
existing request item.

In theory, we should be able to create a new topic listener
which is fired on topic creation, which perhaps could add
comments automatically to new lines which are greater than
the specified parameter, if it exists.

It may be a while before I look at this though - there are a
number of other things on my plate right now.

Cheers,
David
