Description

We're currently giving full width length to our block-level elements, like headings and paragraphs.
We need to limit those for better readability and to follow our guidelines.

Current status on various breakpoints:
(Red markers are on 45-75 chars)
320:

414:

768:

992:

1200:

So we've got two areas to work on, a minor one on 414-568 and one for desktop and widescreen ranges.

Proposal:
568-767:

992+:

Event Timeline

As the result hasn't been convincing on our maximum content width on desktop & widescreen (outcome of this week's Design Review), with h2 border and img taking up full available width, we've decided to roll back the change and go for full content column width.

Putting on “stalled” as we need clarification on layout and multingual quality of the 75 character rule.
