AvoidLongLines

Severity Level: Warning

Default state: Disabled

Description

This rule detects lines that exceed the configured maximum length, including leading spaces (indentation). The default maximum line length is 120 characters.

Example

Noncompliant

This deliberately long example contains more than one hundred and twenty characters on a single line so the default maximum line length check reports a violation.

Compliant

This deliberately long example contains more than one hundred and twenty
characters but is broken up to avoid exceeding the maximum line length of
80 characters.

        Enable = $true
        MaximumLineLength = 120
