Line length refers to the container's length holding multi-line text. Text readability diminishes if lines are too long, causing readers to reread them. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines set a maximum of 80 characters per line, reducing to 40 for certain languages. Research suggests an optimal line length of 50-75 characters for better reading flow. For responsive design, it's essential to avoid fixed widths, using techniques like clamp() and min() to create flexible line lengths based on the viewport size.
Line length is the length of a container that holds a body of multi-line text, which affects readability as too wide a line can cause users to reread lines by mistake.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines recommend a maximum of 80 characters on a line for readability, with a suggestion of 40 for languages like Chinese, Japanese, or Korean.
Studies indicate that the optimal line length for readability is between 50-75 characters, balancing between too many lines and user reading mistakes.
For responsive design, using functions like clamp() and min() helps establish fluid line lengths that adjust according to the viewport, avoiding fixed minimum widths.
