Specifically interested in the web, but open to more general guides.

Regarding the web, using a moderately sized column for the primary text (with a CSS max-width set for responsiveness) is generally a good idea, because humans are supposedly better at reading lines that arent too long. In practice, however, this doesnt always seem to be the case. Consider wikipedias regular website for example.
