+### Configuring formatter page width
+
+When you run `dart format`, the formatter defaults to
+80 character line length or shorter. 
+If you'd like to configure the line length for your project,
+you can add a top-level `formatter` section to the
+[`analysis_options.yaml`][] file, like so:
+
+```yaml title="analysis_options.yaml"
+formatter:
+  page_width: 123
+```
+
+With the analysis options file typically at the root,
+the configured line length will apply to everything in the package.
+
+You can also configure individual files' line length,
+overriding the analysis options file,
+with a marker comment at the top of the file before any other code:
+
+```dart
+// dart format width=123
+```
+
+:::version-note
+Configurable page width requires
+a [language version][] of at least 3.7.
