No, it's because of the markup; I meant >80 chars in the editor window in 
which I work. For example:

<computeroutput><prompt>[root@adan root]# </prompt><userinput>cp 
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc /etc/mail/sendmail.bak</userinput></computeroutput>

...works out to roughly 138 characters if I counted right. I would have 
assumed that _if_ there was a limit to line length in the editor it would 
have been at least 254 chars per line, so still nowhere near a problem, but 
rather than guessing I figured I'd ask.
