@selfthinker:

> Regarding max width, do you mean for the template in general or just for dokuwiki.org? Isn't great that it's so easy to change it, because it's just a simple variable in `style.ini`? :)
I wouldn't mind to make it a bit wider in general, but it shouldn't get too wide. Keep in mind that the width is done as if viewed on a 1024 screen. (The whole width is 1008 px with default browser options.) But the main point is to keep the text readable. (Although there are no proper guidelines on this, see http://baymard.com/blog/line-length-readability and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7460041/whats-a-good-maximum-width-of-text-on-a-webpage.)
