From c0e0c730cbcf82c8d0f4457f1ffbb7e45d1e7ed3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?R=C3=A2u=20Cao?= Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 12:38:32 +0400 Subject: [PATCH] docs: tell agents not to hard-wrap prose in posted bodies MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Add a "Writing text for Gitea" section and gotcha rule: compose PR/issue bodies, comments, reviews, release notes and wiki pages as normal paragraphs, without arbitrary line breaks — and unwrap text copied from hard-wrapped commit messages.
