Rather than exceed 80 characters, the first line of blank-mode.el should be: ;;; blank-mode.el --- Minor mode to visualise blanks (SPACE, HARD SPACE, TAB) with a comma instead of an `and' before the word `TAB' and no period. That is 77 characters long which is almost, but not quite, too much for a heading. 2. Regarding the body of the library, as a general rule, comments should be filled according to the Emacs default -- I notice the lengths are longer although they are less than 80 characters. 3. Also, while a carriage return occurs at the end of a line, that place does not necessarily mark the end of a paragraph. By default, please do not use a between-paragraph symbol for the end of a line (a carriage return or \n) that is not the end of a paragraph. (Five out of the six carriage returns in this paragraph do not mark its end.) Thank you. -- Robert J.
