# sidebars, minimaps, etc. to show at least two documents side-by-side.
# Hard wrapping by default for code is useful since many editors don't support
# an elegant soft wrap; however, soft wrap is fine for things where text just
# flows normally, like Markdown documents or git commit messages. Hard wrap
# is also easier for line-based diffing tools to consume.
