I answered on the fediverse, but my kind-of-average phone, with
DiggieDog, will show 80 in landscape or 50 in portrait.
I'm not sure the only reason wrapping is an issue is mobile devices; I
would like to see good but simple typography be the expectation on
Gemini (heavier than plain text, lighter than HTML). But I fully admit
that this raises the implementation complexity, and my own graphical
client experiment has not yet got to the point where I am trying to
render markdown.
