# The saxon:line-length attribute

The value of `saxon:line-length` is an integer, with default value 80. With both the HTML and XML output methods, attributes are output on a new line if they would otherwise extend beyond this column position. With the HTML output method, furthermore, text lines are split at this line length when possible. In releases 9.2 and earlier, the HTML output method attempted to split lines that exceeded 120 characters in length.
