Maximum distance? Don't think so. There's the so many outlets on a wall
... nothing to do with doorways. Well, probably against code to install
an outlet in a doorway.

Then you think wrongly.

You're misinformed, or uninformed.
"Receptacles shall be installed so that no point measured horizontally along
the floor line in any wall space is more than 1.8m (6ft) from a receptacle
outlet. As used in this section, a wall space shall include the following: any
space 600mm (2ft) or more in width (including space measured around corners)
and unbroken along the floor line by doorways, fireplaces, and similar
openings. ..." [2005 NEC, Article 210.52 (A)]
In other words ... a "wall space" begins at a doorway. To comply with this
article, the maximum distance an outlet may be from a doorway is six feet;
otherwise, there would necessarily be some point within that "wall space" more
than six feet from an outlet.

*What* 36" rule?
>Ok, so I have 2 doorway 36" apart
Then there should be an outlet between them.

Yep.
