Message:

Vast edition of LaTeX subfiles to improve the readability by cutting sentences in a more suitable way
Every sentence begins in a new line and if necessary is splitted around 110 characters lenght for side-by-side visualisation,
this setting may not be adequate for everyone but something has to be set.
The punctuation was the primer trigger for the cutting process, otherwise subordinators and coordinators, in order to mostly keep a meaning for each line
