I have some lengthy HTML which is over the 80 character limit for my project. We have a style guide which restricts the number of characters per line, which is good because right now the line runs so long that you can't see it all without scrolling right.
<div id="email-signup-container">
<div id="mc_embed_signup">
<div class="interested">
<div class="container">
<div class="left col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<h3>Help New York residents keep the heat on this winter.</h3>
<a href="http://www.nycharities.org/donate/charitydonate.asp?ID=4081" class="donate-btn btn-interest">DONATE</a>
</div>
<div class="right col-lg-6 col-md-6 col-sm-12 col-xs-12">
<h3>Without heat? Visit our resources page.</h3>
<a class="btn-interest" href="resources">RESOURCES</a>

Unfortunately, I can't find any style guides that cover multilining HTML. I worked on one project where we newlined things by attribute, but it was controversial:
<a
href="http://www.nycharities.org/donate/charitydonate.asp?ID=4081"
class="donate-btn btn-interest">DONATE</a>
Some people wanted the closing carot on a new line like this:
<a
href="http://www.nycharities.org/donate/charitydonate.asp?ID=4081"
class="donate-btn btn-interest"
>DONATE</a>
Other people wanted the closing tag at the same level as the opening tag:
<a
href="http://www.nycharities.org/donate/charitydonate.asp?ID=4081"
class="donate-btn btn-interest"
>
DONATE
</a>
I kind of hate all of them. Can anyone point to any published style guides that cover this so we can just adopt one and move on?
I've been wondering this as well. The only thing I could find was the guide from GoCardless, which says:
