I agree that we probably need a vfunc - there's different use cases that need different variants: natural language, code, xml, etc. For best results, we may even want a way to use different word breaking rules in different regions of the buffer. As an example, you might have comments embedded in code. _______________________________________________ gtk-devel-list mailing list gtk-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-devel-list
