Runway Line Up Technique

It was mentioned to me a couple of years ago, that when lining up on a runway for take off, the yellow line should be followed throughout the line up. The yellow line however, often describes a shallow turn and therefore uses up more available runway.
Prior to this I had always practiced a ninety degree turn in order to maximize take off distance.
Does anyone know if there is any formal documentation to support line up following the line?
I’m not really looking for opinions here but rather some validation of the recommended technique so I can pass the information to my trainees.
