Based on the initial suggestion in #96, I just took a quick look at Medium and Wordpress, two of the most popular blogging platforms. They limit the max-width of article paragraphs to 700 and 720 pixels respectively (even for very large screen sizes). I assume these design decisions were taken after very comprehensive research and that they optimize the readability of the content.
Therefore, I will experiment with introducing a max paragraph width across the body of all Academic content.
Closing as implemented in c941875, but feel free to leave any feedback here in relation to this :)
Can a user redefine article width in custom CSS? If yes, please, show an example. :)
Sure, just add the following to your custom CSS and change the max width. Note that there is 20px of padding on each side so actual displayed width is 760 - (20*2) = 720px.
.article-container {
max-width: 760px;
}
