You seemed to be suggesting that it had something to do with margins, which is actually a different issue than column width. In a newspaper, you can have a lot of columns with small margins, for example.
You also seemed to be suggesting that it had something to do with separating different stories on the same page.
- scott_s 15y agoWhen you have one column of text, as in the frontpage of HN, large margins implies a narrow column of text. My point about separate stories is that it is independent of them. Magazines and newspapers layout their stories in columns. I was anticipating someone saying "Yes, but they also show multiple stories on one page." But magazines and newspapers still use narrow columns of text even when they have a single story on the page.
